چکیده
There is a funder missing from the Funding section. The correct funding information is as follows: Partial funding was given by CONACYT (Project 129683). AV BioSciences provided support in the form of salary for GV at the time of consultancy, but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The specific roles of this author is articulated in the ‘author contributions’ section. Additionally, the following sentence is missing from the Acknowledgements section: Fela Mendlovic did her PhD at the National University of Mexico (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, UNAM) in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program at the Faculty of Medicine (Doctorado en Ciencias Biomédicas, Facultad de Medicina, UNAM).

Cytokine, Antibody and Proliferative Cellular Responses Elicited by Taenia solium Calreticulin upon Experimental Infection in Hamsters
Taenia solium causes two diseases in humans, cysticercosis and taeniosis. Tapeworm carriers are the main risk factor for neurocysticercosis. Limited information is available about the immune response elicited by the adult parasite, particularly the induction of Th2 responses, frequently associated to helminth infections. Calreticulin is a ubiquitous, multifunctional protein involved in cellular...
متن کاملOrally administered Taenia solium Calreticulin prevents experimental intestinal inflammation and is associated with a type 2 immune response
Intestinal helminth antigens are inducers of type 2 responses and can elicit regulatory immune responses, resulting in dampened inflammation. Several platyhelminth proteins with anti-inflammatory activity have been reported. We have identified, cloned and expressed the Taenia solium calreticulin (rTsCRT) and shown that it predominantly induces a type 2 response characterized by IgG1, IL-4 and I...
متن کاملTwo epitopes shared by Taenia crassiceps and Taenia solium confer protection against murine T. crassiceps cysticercosis along with a prominent T1 response.
Taenia crassiceps recombinant antigens KETc1 and KETc12 have been shown to induce high level of protection against experimental murine T. crassiceps cysticercosis, an experimental model successfully used to test candidate antigens for use in vaccination against porcine Taenia solium cysticercosis. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence, KETc1 and KETc12 were chemically synthesized in linear f...
متن کاملTamoxifen Treatment in Hamsters Induces Protection during Taeniosis by Taenia solium
Human neurocysticercosis by Taenia solium is considered an emergent severe brain disorder in developing and developed countries. Discovery of new antiparasitic drugs has been recently aimed to restrain differentiation and establishment of the T. solium adult tapeworm, for being considered a central node in the disease propagation to both pigs and humans. Tamoxifen is an antiestrogenic drug with...
متن کاملProgesterone Induces Mucosal Immunity in a Rodent Model of Human Taeniosis by Taenia solium
More than one quarter of human world's population is exposed to intestinal helminth parasites. The Taenia solium tapeworm carrier is the main risk factor in the transmission of both human neurocysticercosis and porcine cysticercosis. Sex steroids play an important role during T. solium infection, particularly progesterone has been proposed as a key immunomodulatory hormone involved in susceptib...
