Segregation analysis indicates a major gene in the control of interleukine-5 production in humans infected with Schistosoma mansoni.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Aug 1996

Rodrigues V, Abel L, Piper K, Dessein A J

Abstract excerpt

The interleukine-5 (IL-5) is a hormone of the immune system that is the main regulator of eosinopoiesis, eosinophil maturation and activation, and immunoglobulin A production. Thus, IL-5 contributes in several ways to human immune defenses against various pathogens, including helminths and infectious agents of the digestive and respiratory tracts. On the other hand, the increase in eosinophil number and the...
