Global gene expression profiles during acute pathogen-induced pulmonary inflammation reveal divergent roles for Th1 and Th2 responses in tissue repair.
T helper 1 responses are typically proinflammatory, while Th2 responses have been considered regulatory. Interestingly, Th2 responses characterize a number of pulmonary diseases, many of which terminate in tissue remodeling and fibrosis. We developed a mouse model using Schistosoma mansoni eggs and cytokine-deficient mice to induce highly polarized Th1- or Th2-type inflammation in the lung. In ...
متن کاملThe debate over the effector function of eosinophils in helminth infection: new evidence from studies on the regulation of vaccine immunity by IL-12.
The production of Th1-type cytokines is associated with strong cell-mediated immunity while Th2-type cytokines are typically involved in the generation of humoral immune responses. In mice vaccinated a single time (1X) with attenuated cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni, the immunity induced is highly dependent on CD4+ T cells and IFN-gamma. In contrast, mice vaccinated multiple times (3X) have de...
متن کاملDynamic analysis of splenic Th1 and Th2 lymphocyte functions in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum.
Recent studies indicate that egg granuloma formation in murine Schistosoma mansoni infection is associated with Th2-mediated immune responses. The present study was designed to analyze dynamically the Th1 and Th2 responses in S. japonicum-infected animals and compare them with the results seen with S. mansoni. C3H mice were infected with 10 to 20 cercariae of S. japonicum and sacrificed 3 to 22...
متن کاملDownregulation of Th1 cytokine production accompanies induction of Th2 responses by a parasitic helminth, Schistosoma mansoni
In the mouse, infection with Schistosoma mansoni results in an egg-producing infection and associated disease, whereas vaccination with attenuated larval stages produces a substantial and specific immunity in the absence of egg-induced pathology. Preliminary data showing enhanced interleukin-5 (IL-5) production by T cells from infected mice and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) synthesis by cells fr...
متن کاملAltered immune responses in mice with concomitant Schistosoma mansoni and Plasmodium chabaudi infections.
Mixed parasitic infections are common in many parts of the world. However, little is known about how concurrent infections affect the immunity to and/or pathogenesis of each other. Protection and elimination of blood-stage Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS in resistant mice are characterized by a sequential activation of CD4(+) Th1 and Th2 cells. The patent egg-laying stage of the murine model of...
