RECOMBINANT SJ16 PROTEIN WITH NOVEL ACTIVITY ALLEVIATES HEPATIC GRANULOMATOUS INFLAMMATION AND FIBROSIS INDUCED BY SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM ASSOCIATED WITH M2 MACROPHAGES IN A MOUSE MODEL

Recombinant Sj16 protein with novel activity alleviates hepatic granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japonicum associated with M2 macrophages in a mouse model

Abstract Background Potent granulomatous inflammation responses induced by schistosome eggs and resultant fibrosis are the primary causes of morbidity in schistosomiasis.Recombinant Sj16 (rSj16), a 16-kDa protein of Schistosoma japonicum produced in Escherichia coli, has been demonstrated to have novel immunoregulatory effects in vivo and in vitro.
