Impairment of Tetanus Toxoid-Specific Thl-like Immune Responses in Humans Infected with Schistosoma mansoni
TL;DR: Results suggest that S. mansoni-infected persons mount a Th2-like response to the bystander antigen TT, while uninfected personsMount a Th1- or Th0- like response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymyxin B as inhibitor of LPS contamination of Schistosoma mansoni recombinant proteins in human cytokine analysis
Luciana Santos Cardoso,Maria Ilma Araujo,Maria Ilma Araujo,Alfredo M. Goes,Lucila G. G. Pacifico,Ricardo Riccio Oliveira,Sergio C. Oliveira +6 more
TL;DR: Polymyxin B was able to neutralize the effect of endotoxin, as contaminant in S. mansoni recombinant antigens produced in E. coli, in inducing TNF-α and IL-10 production.

TL;DR: A deeply sequenced dataset of 910 individuals, all of African descent, is used to construct a set of DNA sequences that is present in these individuals but missing from the reference human genome, demonstrating that the African pan-genome contains ~10% more DNA than the current human reference genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inverse association between skin response to aeroallergens and Schistosoma mansoni infection.
Maria Ilma Araujo,Antonio Alberto Lopes,Manoel Medeiros,Alvaro A. Cruz,Luiza Sousa-Atta,Dirceu Solé,Edgar M. Carvalho +6 more
TL;DR: There was a strong and statistically significant inverse association between the immediate skin test response to common aeroallergens and infection by S. mansoni, and the results indicate that immediate hypersensitivity reactions may be suppressed in S.mansoni-infected individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunology of Parasitic Helminth Infections
TL;DR: Parasitic helminths, or worms, comprise a diverse group of metazoan organisms that infect billions of people and their domesticated animals worldwide.
