Immunomodulation in human and experimental arthritis: including vitamin D, helminths and heat-shock proteins
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014-05-01)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that is mainly directed to the joints, affecting the synovial membrane, the cartilage and also the bone. This disease affects 1% to 2% of the world ...
Helminth secretomes reflect different lifestyles and parasitized hosts.
(Elsevier Science, 2018)
The protein and microRNA cargo of extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths – current status and research priorities
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Helminth parasites have a remarkable ability to persist within their mammalian hosts, which is largely due to their secretion of molecules with immunomodulatory properties. Although the soluble components of helminth ...
The unusual lipid binding proteins of parasitic helminths and their potential roles in parasitism and as therapeutic targets
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
In this review paper we aim at presenting the current knowledge on structural aspects of soluble lipid binding proteins (LBPs) found in parasitic helminths and to discuss their potential role as novel drug targets. Helminth ...
Helminths turning on the NLRP3 inflammasome: Pros and cons
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Helminth infections can activate multimeric protein complexes called inflammasomes. In this forum we summarize the main effects of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation, including control of excessive Th2 response and ...

Immunomodulation in human and experimental arthritis: including vitamin D, helminths and heat-shock proteins
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014)
No impact of helminth coinfection in patients with smear positive tuberculosis on immunoglobulin levels using a novel method measuring Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antibodies.
(Springer, 2023)
Helminth/tuberculosis (TB)-coinfection can reduce cell-mediated immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and increase disease severity, although the effects are highly helminth species dependent. Mtb have long ...
Recombinant protein- and synthetic peptide-based immunoblot test for diagnosis of neurocysticercosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014)
One of the most well-characterized tests for diagnosing neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) assay developed at the CDC, which uses lentil lectin-bound glycoproteins (LLGP) extracted ...
