Parasitic helminths excrete or secrete (ES) a variety of molecules into their mammalian
hosts. The effects of these ES products on the host's immune responses are reviewed …

Similar T helper (Th) 2-type immune responses are generated against different helminth
parasites, but the mechanisms that initiate Th2 immunity, and the specific immune …

Eosinophils have previously been shown to accumulate around the tissue invasive (L3)
stage of sheep gastrointestinal parasites in vivo. In this study, eosinophils obtained from …

Eosinophils have been implicated in both in vivo and in vitro destruction of helminths. One
approach toward elucidating the role of the eosinophil in parasite killing has been to test the …

The cuticle of nematodes is a thin, flexible outer covering composed primarily of protein with
trace amounts of lipid and carbohydrate. There has been considerable recent interest in the …

Eosinophils play a protective role in host immunity to infections by parasitic worms and,
detrimentally, are involved in the pathophysiology of asthma and other allergic diseases …

The cuticular antigens of adult Nematospiroides dubius were selectively removed using the
cationic detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Nonionic, zwitterionic or …

The potential of crude Trichinella spiralis newborn larval antigens for pig immunization was
investigated. A preparation of whole newborn larvae killed by freezing and thawing, and …

The cytotoxic reaction of normal peritoneal mouse cells, containing less than 3%
eosinophils, against newborn Trichinella spiralis larvae, in the presence of antibody, was …

Abstract A 70 000 to 90 000 MW larval specific protein of Haemonchus contortus was
purified by surface extraction and size exclusion chromatography. The purified protein was …
