Elevated IL‐10 mRNA expression and downregulation of Th1‐type cytokines in microfilaraemic individuals with <i>Wuchereria bancrofti</i> infection
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
To understand the molecular basis of parasite-specific anergy in human lymphatic filariasis caused by the nematode Wuchereria bancrofti, parasite antigen-dependent cellular proliferation and cytokine gene expression were investigated. By reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the levels of cytokine mRNA were determined in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of different clinical...
