Schistosomes are parasitic worms that cause schistosomiasis, a chronic disease associated with a Th2 response. During the chronic phase of infection the disease is also associated with enhanced IL-10 production and suppressed T cell proliferation against parasite and third party antigens. The tegumental outer-surface structure of schistosomes is unique in nature and consists of a syncytium of fused cells covered by two closely-apposed lipid bilayers that form the interactive surface with the host. Schistosome-specific lysophosphatidylserine (lysoGPSer) activates toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and affects dendritic cells in such a way that mature dendritic cells gain the ability to induce the development of IL-10 producing regulatory T cells.
