Removal of regulatory T cell activity reverses hyporesponsiveness and leads to filarial parasite clearance in vivo.

Journal Article
Taylor, M. D., LeGoff, L., Harris, A., Malone, E. M., Allen, J. E., & Maizels, R. M. (2005)
Removal of regulatory T cell activity reverses hyporesponsiveness and leads to filarial parasite clearance in vivo. Journal of Immunology, 174, 4924-4933
Human filarial parasites cause chronic infection associated with long-term down-regulation of the host’s immune response. We show here that CD4+ T cell regulation is the main ...
