Characterisation of an immune-modulating peptide secreted by a helminth worm
… have evolved mechanisms to potently modulate the mammalian immune response to ensure their long-term survival, while concomitantly preventing excessive tissue pathology within the host. The outcome of this activity is a potent suppression of mammalian pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 immune …

Neutrophil Chemotaxis in Multiple Chemoattractant Gradients
Chemotaxis, the phenomenon in which cells move in response to extracellular chemical gradients, plays a prominent role in the mammalian immune response. During this process, a number of chemical signals, called chemoattractants, are produced at or proximal to sites of infection and diffuse into the …

Characterisation of factors that regulate homologous recombination and antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei
… by the tsetse fly vector. To evade the mammalian immune response, T. brucei utilises antigenic variation, which involves switches in the Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) expressed on the cell surface. Such reactions can occur at very high rates (~10-3 switches/cell/generation) and …
