Response of human leukocytes after stimulation with excreted-secreted toxocara canis larval antigens
Background Specific immunotherapy by administration of allergen extracts has been successfully used in asthma, allergic rhinitis and for venom. The identification of molecules which could be used as adjuvants in anti-allergy immunotherapeutic preparations is highly desirable. Antiallergy immunotherapy has been associated with the induction of regulatory T cells. Helminths possibly downmodulate ...
متن کاملSerodiagnosis of Human Toxocariasis Using Adult Antigens of Toxocara canis
Introduction Toxocara canis has a worldwide distribution and is regarded as the main cause of human toxocariasis (1, 2). Infection in humans, particularly children, is frequently caused by accidental ingestion of embryonated Toxocara eggs present in soil, water, food, dirty hands, and vegetables or by ingestion of larvae in under-cooked giblets (3). The disease can be asymptomatic or can lead t...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of Toxocara canis larval antigen reacted with a seropositive human serum.
Excretory-secretory products of Toxocara canis larvae have been considered as a major functional antigen in immune responses against toxocariasis. We studied ultrastructural localization of T. canis second-stage larval antigen using a seropositive human serum under immunogold electron microscopy. High-density gold particles were observed in the secretory cells, excretory duct, intestinal epithe...
متن کاملInterleukin-10 Serum Levels after Vaccination with In Vivo Prepared Toxoplasma gondii Excreted/Secreted Antigens.
OBJECTIVES Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide prevalent zoonotic parasite which causes toxoplasmosis. An appropriate vaccine for animals could interrupt the circle between animals and humans. Our previous study showed that excreted/secreted antigens (E/SA), derived from the peritoneum of mice infected with T. gondii tachyzoites could be considered as a good candidate for animal vaccination. Inter...
متن کاملToxocara canis and Toxocara catis
mopolitan roundworms that infect dogs, especially puppies, and cats. T. canis infection in humans occurs by ingestion of the embryonic eggs, which are shed in the feces of infected dogs. Toxocariasis is manifested in three different syndromes: visceral larva migrans (VLM), ocular larva migrans (OLM), and covert toxocariasis (1, 2). VLM is usually a disease of children 1 to 6 year old, and it ma...
