immune system
• decreased jejunal mastocytosis after infection with T.spiralis larvae
• however, the number of mast cells in uninfected mice is not different from wild-type
|
• impairment in IL-4 and IL-13 responses in anti-CD3 stimulated mesenteric T helper cells from T.spiralis infected mice
|
• after infection with T.spiralis larvae, serum IL4 levels are reduced 4-fold
|
• in nave T helper cells cultured in Th1 polarizing conditions for 7 days and stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 for 24 hours
|
• after anti-CD3 stimulation of mesenteric T helper cells from T.spiralis infected mice
|
• mesenteric T helper display significantly impaired IL3 production
|
• after anti-CD3 stimulation of mesenteric T helper cells from T.spiralis infected mice
• reduction in IL4 production by in vitro derived Th2 cells
|
• IL5 production by in vitro derived Th2 cells is reduced
|
• an elevated intestinal worm burden after T. spiralis infection
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• after infection with T.spiralis larvae, serum IL4 levels are reduced 4-fold
|
hematopoietic system
• decreased jejunal mastocytosis after infection with T.spiralis larvae
• however, the number of mast cells in uninfected mice is not different from wild-type
|
• impairment in IL-4 and IL-13 responses in anti-CD3 stimulated mesenteric T helper cells from T.spiralis infected mice
