Th2 immune response against Schistosoma mansoni infection
Abstract
Schistosoma mansoni eggs - or more specifically, secreted products thereof - are potent inducers of a Th2 response in the host. Here we review current knowledge on the Th2-promoting effects of egg-derived components and the consequences for the host.
