Increased Fas ligand expression of peripheral B ‐1 cells correlated with CD4+ T‐cell apoptosis in filarial‐infected patients
In this study, we have scored the profile of apoptotic Th‐cell population and FasL‐expressing B‐1 cells in different clinical categories of filariasis. The peripheral apoptotic T‐helper cells were significantly increased in filarial patients compared to endemic controls. Expression of FasL on the surface of peripheral B‐1 cells increased in filarial patients and positively correlated with peripheral apoptotic T‐helper cells indicating FasL‐expressing B‐1 cells may be one of the important mediators of Th‐cell apoptosis and immune anergy during filarial pathology.

Parasites, nutrition, immune responses and biology of metabolic tissues
Summary
Nutritional immunology, immunometabolism and identification of novel immunotherapeutic targets are areas of active investigation in parasitology. There is a well‐documented crosstalk among immune cells and cells in metabolically active tissues that is important for homeostasis. The numbers and function of these cells are altered by obesity leading to inflammation. A variety of helminths spend some part of their life cycle in the gastrointestinal tract and even entirely enteral nematode infections exert beneficial effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. The foundation of this review is the ability of enteric nema...

T ‐cell clones in human trichinellosis: Evidence for a mixed Th1/Th2 response
Summary
In humans, studies on the cellular immune response against Trichinella are scarce. Aim of this study was to characterize the cytokine profile of T cells specific for Trichinella britovi in trichinellosis patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from five patients involved in a trichinellosis outbreak caused by T. britovi, which occurred in 2013 in Tuscany (Italy). All the patients resulted positive for Trichinella‐specific IgG, IgE and presented eosinophilia. T cells were investigated for their proliferation to excretory/secretory antigens from Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae (TsES) a...
