متن کاملResponses to Toll-like receptor ligands in children living in areas where schistosome infections are endemic.
To study the effect of repeated challenge of the innate immune system with pathogen-associated molecular patterns, cytokine responses to schistosomal lipids and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were analyzed in schoolchildren living in an area in Gabon where schistosomiasis, a helminth infection that is chronic in nature, is endemic. A schistosomal phosphatidylserine (PS) fraction containing ...
