Abstract excerpt
One of the many warm-blooded hosts that toxoplasmosis-causing intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can infect is humans. Cytokines are crucial to stimulate an effective immune response against T. gondii. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a unique anti-inflammatory cytokine that suppresses the immune response. The levels of cytokine gene expression are regulated by genetics, and the genetic polymorphisms of...
