Infection in C57BL/6 Mice

infection or whether these cells and their defining IL-17 cytokine mediate host protective responses early in infection. infection in mice. infection and indicate that Th17 cell differentiation results from the integrated impact of inducing and suppressive factors promoted by the parasite. Importantly, our findings suggest that lower IL-17 levels may result in favorable host protective responses. This study significantly contributes to the understanding of immunity to schistosomiasis and may aid in developing interventions to protect hosts from infection or restrain immunopathology
