Abstract

Hookworms infect several hundred million people worldwide, causing malnutrition, anemia, and growth retardation. Infections generally result in a strong type 2 immune response, but the effector mechanisms that mediate worm expulsion remain poorly characterized. In this study, we determined the role of mast cells and basophils in protective immunity against the murine hookworm, Nippostrongylus Brasiliensis, during primary and secondary infection. Mast cell–deficient c-KitW-sh mice had lower serum IgE levels compared with wild-type mice under steady-state conditions and after N. brasiliensis infection. Worm expulsion was delayed during primary but not during secondary infection of c-KitW-sh mice, even in the absence of CD4 T cells. However, protective immunity was lost when basophils were depleted before reinfection of c-KitW-sh mice. We conclude that basophils play a crucial role for worm expulsion during a memory type 2 immune response independently of mast cells and memory Th2 cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
