Among the major parasitic infections, schistosomiasis may be the most promising candidate
for human vaccination. Information about mechanisms of immunity, gained mainly from …

Schistosomiasis japonica differs significantly from Schistosoma mansoni infection in several
epidemiologic, immunologic, and operational characteristics for control. Because of …

The contribution of interleukin (IL)-10 and interferon (IFN)-γ to the regulation of type 1 and
type 2 cytokine responses was investigated in Brazilians with different clinical forms of …

In schistosomiasis the deposition of parasite ova within host tissues is the initial event in a
complex pathophysiological cascade which is characterized by granuloma formation, and …

Schistosomiasis results from infection with parasites called schistosomes that inhabit
specific blood vessels of their definitive host. Schistosomiasis is predominantly a disease of …

Schistosomes are capable of causing severe tissue damage, which results from the
granulomatous inflammation that develops around the parasite eggs. Characteristic of this …

Antibodies were purified from pooled sera from patients with different clinical forms of
schistosomiasis mansoni on immunoaffinity columns of schistosome soluble egg Ag (SEA) …

Exposure of neonatal mice to appropriate, cross-reactive Id (CRI) preparations alters
immune responsiveness, ameliorates pathology, and prolongs survival of animals upon …

We present a method for the examination of antiidiotypic cell-mediated reactivity during
chronic human infections. Pooled and individual sera from patients with schistosomiasis …

We used a noncompetitive two-site ELISA with 5 monoclonal antibodies to determine
