Journal ArticleDOI
Mucosal mast cells are functionally active during spontaneous expulsion of intestinal nematode infections in rat
Richard G. Woodbury,Hugh R. P. Miller,John F. Huntley,George F.J. Newlands,A. C. Palliser,Derek Wakelin +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that the systemic secretion of RMCP II coincides with the immune expulsion of these nematodes, demonstrating clearly for the first time that rat MMC are functionally active during the immune elimination of primary nematode infections.
Book ChapterDOI
The Immune Response
Derek Wakelin,D. A. Denham +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter will concentrate on those responses that confer resistance on the host; immune responses in the contexts of diagnosis and pathology are dealt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding chronic nematode infections: evolutionary considerations, current hypotheses and the way forward.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enterochromaffin cell hyperplasia and decreased serotonin transporter in a mouse model of postinfectious bowel dysfunction.
TL;DR: Infection induced inflammation increases EC numbers, as has been reported in PI‐IBS, and reduces SERT, which may increase mucosal 5HT availability and contribute to the clinical presentation of PI-IBS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunity to intestinal parasites
TL;DR: Understanding how immunity can operate, and why it often does not, is not only of intrinsic interest but necessary for the development of immunological methods of control.
