Genetic Divergence of Toxoplasma gondii Strains Associated with Ocular Toxoplasmosis, Brazil

TL;DR: Brazilian strains of T. gondii differ from lineages in North America and Europe; these differences may underlie severe ocular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of noninfectious intermediate and posterior uveitis with the humanized anti-Tac mAb: A phase I/II clinical trial

TL;DR: It is suggested that anti-IL-2 receptor therapy may be an effective therapeutic approach for uveitis and, by implication, other disorders with a predominant Th1 profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endometriosis: an inflammatory disease with a Th2 immune response component

TL;DR: Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease involving a possible shift towards Th1 and Th2 immune response component, as demonstrated by the relative increase in cytokines characteristic of this pattern of immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Galectin-1 suppresses autoimmune retinal disease by promoting concomitant Th2- and T regulatory-mediated anti-inflammatory responses.

TL;DR: The ability of Gal-1 to counteract Th1-mediated responses through different, but potentially overlapping anti-inflammatory mechanisms is underscored and a possible therapeutic use of this protein is suggested for the treatment of human uveitic diseases of autoimmune etiology.
