Toxoplasma gondii is known to shut down pro-inflammatory responses triggered by Toll-like receptor agonists and, in this sense, has been widely used as a model for subversion of innate immunity. Here, we describe one of the possible mechanisms by which the parasite is able to down regulate nitric oxide and IL-12 production by activated macrophages and dendritic cells. We show that parasite-induced immunomodulation is independent of live invasion and replication, and presented distinct patterns depending on the type of strain used (type I or II). Strikingly, blockage of SAG2A surface protein by specific monoclonal antibody reverted the suppression of activated cells in a dose-dependent manner. Further analysis indicated that the innate immun...
