abstract：:Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta(1)) is a key regulator of immune tolerance. TGF-beta(1) controls T lymphocyte activation and is involved in the immunosuppressive function and generation of regulatory T lymphocytes. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has an essential role in the formation of connective ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Allergic reactions occur rarely in patients with chronic helminth infections, although FcepsilonRI-bearing cells are sensitized with anti-parasite IgE and are exposed to antigen. The inhibition of allergic reactivity is due to 'blocking antibodies', predominantly IgG4. IgG4 antibodies represent 50-95% of ant...
