متن کاملAlteration of granuloma angiotensin I-converting enzyme activity by regulatory T lymphocytes in murine schistosomiasis.
Granulomatous inflammatory lesions in murine schistosomiasis mansoni undergo a spontaneous diminution at the chronic phase of the disease concurrent with an increase in angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity. The objective of this investigation was to determine whether T cells influence ACE activity within the granulomas. Cyclophosphamide and cimetidine treatments of mice, which augment...
