Restriction of the alternative pathway of human complement by intact Trypanosoma brucei subsp. gambiense

DV Devine, RJ Falk, AE Balber - Infection and immunity, 1986 - Am Soc Microbiol
We studied the interaction of African trypanosomes with human complement. Bloodstream
forms of Trypanosoma brucei subsp. gambiense isolated from mice activated the alternative …

Most parasite‐specific CD8+ cells in Trypanosoma cruzi‐infected chronic mice are down‐regulated for T‐cell receptor‐αβ and CD8 molecules

MG Grisotto, MR D'Império Lima, CRF Marinho… - …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
The present study shows that CD8+ T lymphocytes expressing low levels of T‐cell receptor
(TCR) αβ, CD8 and CD3 accumulate in the spleen, blood, peritoneum and liver, but not in …

Are CD8 T cells involved in control of African trypanosomiasis in a natural host environment?

M Sileghem, J Naessens - European Journal of Immunology, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
Murine models have suggested that CD8 T cells might play a major parasite‐promoting role
in African trypanosomiasis. To assess the role of these cells in a natural host environment …

Trypanosoma congolense infections: MHC class II‐restricted immune responses mediate either protection or disease, depending on IL‐10 function

MQ Shi, GJ Wei, H Tabel - Parasite immunology, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
SUMMARY BALB/c mice are highly susceptible and C57BL/6 relatively resistant to
Trypanosoma congolense infections. Here we show that relatively resistant wild‐type B6 …
