Fernandes, Erica de Souza Lorena, Virgínia Maria de Barros Sales, Iana Rafaela Fernandes Albuquerque, Mônica Camelo Pessoa de Azevedo de Miranda Gomes, Yara Costa, Vlaudia Maria Assis Souza, Valdênia Maria Oliveira de Maternal schistosomiasis: IL-2, IL-10 and regulatory T lymphocytes to unrelated antigen in adult offspring mice <div><p>Abstract INTRODUCTION: We evaluated IL-10, IL-2 and regulatory T cells (Treg), in response to ovalbumin (OA), in offspring from schistosomotic mouse mothers. METHODS: We used animals born (BIM) or suckled (SIM) from infected mothers; and mice born/suckled from infected (BSIM) or non-infected mothers (CONTROL). After OA+adjuvant immunization, spleen cells were cultured, with or without OA, and doubly marked for cytometry. RESULTS: BIM showed fewer CD4+/IL-2+ and more B220+/IL-10+ cells, whereas the SIM group showed increased Treg frequency. BSIM had fewer B220+/IL-10+ and Treg cells. CONCLUSIONS: Separately, gestation or nursing induced immunosuppressive cells in infected mothers, but improved anti-OA immunity when combined.</p></div> Maternal schistosomiasis;Adult offspring;Immunomodulation 2018-08-22
