Immunomodulatory dynamics of excretory and secretory products on Th9 immune response during Haemonchus contortus infection in goat.

ABSTRACT: CD4+ T cells play critical roles in mediating adaptive immunity to a variety of pathogens. Recently, new subset of CD4+T named as T helper 9 cells that express the prototypical interleukin-9 (IL-9) cytokine have been recognized in human and mice models during different parasitic infections. Haemonchus contortus is a gastrointestinal nematode of small ruminants which cause high mortality in young animals. During infection, Excretory and Secretary Products (ESPs) are released in the host body. No other study has reported yet on immunomodulatory dynamics of H. contortus ESPs on Th9 immune response in vitro or in vivo. In this study, immunomodulatory effects of ESPs (5, 10, 20, 40, 80; μg/mL) incubated with goat PBMCs on Th9 cells, IL-9 immune response and TGF-β/Smad signaling regulator were e
