Generation and functional analysis of T cell lines and clones specific for schistosomula released products (SRP-A).

abstract：:Activation of the interferon (IFN) system is an early defence mechanism against viral infections. The virus stimulates production of IFN by nucleated cells including the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and this IFN in turn activates several IFN-dependent immune mechanisms including the induction of an anti-...
