Suppressive mechanisms by Heligmosomoides polygyrus‐induced Tregs in C57BL/6 mice change over time and differ to that of naïve mice

Disrupting or harnessing immune suppression is leading to new therapeutic avenues in a number of immune‐related diseases. Understanding the suppressive functions of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in different environments is therefore key. Parasitic worms are strong inducers of Tregs and previous research has suggested that parasite‐induced Tregs are stronger suppressors than naïve Tregs. In strains susceptible to the intestinal worm Heligmosomoides...
