Journal ArticleDOI

Helminth immunoregulation: The role of parasite secreted proteins in modulating host immunity

TL;DR: Current understanding of the growing number of individual helminth mediators that have been shown to target key receptors or pathways in the mammalian immune system is summarised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opposing regulation of the locus encoding IL-17 through direct, reciprocal actions of STAT3 and STAT5.

TL;DR: Deletion of the gene encoding the transcription factor STAT3 in T cells abrogated IL-17 production and attenuated autoimmunity associated with IL-2 deficiency and 'Titration' of the relative activation of STAT3 and STAT5 modulated the specification of cells to the IL- 17-producing helper T cell (TH17 cell) subset.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Retinoic Acid in Tolerance and Immunity

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the cell types and factors that control the production of RA are provided and how host perturbations may affect the ability of this metabolite to control tolerance and immunity or to instigate pathology is discussed.
