چکیده
In our original published manuscript entitled “Type 2 immunity-dependent reduction of segmented filamentous bacteria in mice infected with the helminthic parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis” [1], a co-author was incorrectly omitted. The correct author list should include Emmanuel Mongodin from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Institute for Genome Sciences, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA, and read “W. Florian Fricke, Yang Song, An-Jiang Wang, Allen Smith, Viktoriya Grinchuk, Emmanuel Mongodin, Chenlin Pei, Bing Ma, Nonghua Lu, Joseph F. Urban, Terez Shea-Donohue and Aiping Zhao”. Correspondingly, the authors contribution should read “WFF and AZ conceived the study concept and design. YS, AJW, VG, EM, CP, and NL did the acquisition of data. WFF, YS, BM, and AZ interpreted and analyzed the data. WFF, YS, and AZ drafted the manuscript. WFF, JFU, TSD, and AZ made the critical revision of the manuscript. YS and AZ did the statistical analysis. WFF and AZ obtained funding. All authors read and approved the final manuscript”.

Type 2 immunity-dependent reduction of segmented filamentous bacteria in mice infected with the helminthic parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis
BACKGROUND Dynamic interactions between the host and gastrointestinal microbiota play an important role for local and systemic immune homeostasis. Helminthic parasites modulate the host immune response, resulting in protection against autoimmune disease but also increased susceptibility to pathogen infection. The underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. RESULTS We showed that the type 2 ...
متن کاملSurfactant Protein-D Is Essential for Immunity to Helminth Infection
Pulmonary epithelial cell responses can enhance type 2 immunity and contribute to control of nematode infections. An important epithelial product is the collectin Surfactant Protein D (SP-D). We found that SP-D concentrations increased in the lung following Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection; this increase was dependent on key components of the type 2 immune response. We carried out loss an...
متن کاملParasitic Infection Improves Survival from Septic Peritonitis by Enhancing Mast Cell Responses to Bacteria in Mice
Mammals are serially infected with a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria and parasites. Each infection reprograms the immune system's responses to re-exposure and potentially alters responses to first-time infection by different microorganisms. To examine whether infection with a metazoan parasite modulates host responses to subsequent bacterial infection, mice were infected with the ...
متن کاملNeutrophils clear bacteria associated with parasitic nematodes augmenting the development of an effective Th2-type response.
Infection with the parasitic nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis induces a potent Th2 response; however, little is known about early stages of the innate response that may contribute to protective immunity. To examine early events in this response, chemokine expression in the draining lymph node was examined after N. brasiliensis inoculation. Pronounced increases of several chemokines, includ...
متن کاملInfection with Toxoplasma gondii reduces established and developing Th2 responses induced by Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection.
Oral infection of C57BL/6 mice with 100 cysts of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii results in the development of small intestinal Th1-type immunopathology. In contrast, infection with intestinal helminths results in the development of protective Th2-type responses. We investigated whether infection with the helminth Nippostrongylus brasiliensis influences the development of T. gondii-ind...
