SerpinB2 Is Critical to Th2 Immunity against Enteric Nematode Infection
29 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
SerpinB2, a member of the serine protease inhibitor family, is expressed by macrophages and is significantly upregulated by inflammation. Recent studies implicated a role for SerpinB2 in the control of Th1 and Th2 immune responses, but the mechanisms of these effects are unknown.
