Abstract excerpt
In murine schistosomiasis mansoni the cell-mediated immune response to the deposited eggs is mediated by CD4+ delayed-type hypersensitivity effector T (TDH) cells that produce vigorous granulomatous responses in the liver and intestines of acutely infected animals. The response is significantly down-modulated in chronically infected mice by Ag-specific Ts cells. The present study was undertaken to establish an in...
