The dynamics of select cellular responses and cytokine expression profiles in mice infected with juvenile Clonorchis sinensis

Clonorchiasis is a zoonotic disease that can result in chronic infection in humans. The causative agent, Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis), is believed to primarily induce a Th2 immune response in infected mice. However, few studies have profiled host immune responses to C. sinensis infection during the juvenile phase. In the present study, the dynamics of select cellular responses and cytokine expression profiles during juvenile C. sinensis...
