Immune regulation by helminth parasites: cellular and molecular mechanisms
RM Maizels, M Yazdanbakhsh - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2003 - nature.com
Immunology was founded by studying the body's response to infectious microorganisms,
and yet microbial prokaryotes only tell half the story of the immune system. Eukaryotic …

Allergy, parasites, and the hygiene hypothesis
M Yazdanbakhsh, PG Kremsner, R Van Ree - Science, 2002 - science.org
The increase of allergic diseases in the industrialized world has often been explained by a
decline in infections during childhood. The immunological explanation has been put into the …

Th2 responses without atopy: immunoregulation in chronic helminth infections and reduced allergic disease
M Yazdanbakhsh, A van den Biggelaar… - Trends in …, 2001 - cell.com
The immune response to helminth infections has long been known to share key features
with the allergic response. In particular, both are typified by enhanced T helper 2 (Th2) …

[HTML][HTML] A novel host-parasite lipid cross-talk: schistosomal lyso-phosphatidylserine activates Toll-like receptor 2 and affects immune polarization
Schistosome infections are characterized by prominent T cell hyporesponsiveness during
the chronic stage of infection. We found that schistosome-specific phosphatidylserine (PS) …

Decreased atopy in children infected with Schistosoma haematobium: a role for parasite-induced interleukin-10
Background Most of the effort directed at understanding the role infections have in preventing
allergy has focused on bacteria and viruses and their ability to divert the immune system …
