Molecular mimicry between cockroach and helminth glutathione S-transferases promotes cross-reactivity and cross-sensitization.

TL;DR: Investigation of the cross-reactivity between a major glutathione-S transferase allergen of cockroach and the WbGST, a major lymphatic filarial pathogen of humans, demonstrates that helminth glutathion-Stransferase and the aeroallergen Bla g 5 share epitopes that can induce allergic cross-sensitization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basophils trump dendritic cells as APCs for T(H)2 responses.

TL;DR: Three new papers suggest that basophils initiate allergen- and helminth-driven CD4+ T helper type 2 responses by functioning as antigen-presenting cells in draining lymph nodes.

are the major source of host-protective regulatory IL-10 during intracellular protozoan infection

TL;DR: Findings indicate that IL-10 production by CD4+ T lymphocytes need not involve a distinct regulatory Th cell subset but can be generated in Th1 cells as part of the effector response to intracellular pathogens.
