Abstract
The production and regulation
of interleukin (IL) IL-13, IL-4 and Interferon-γ was evaluated in different
clinical forms of human schistosomiasis. The mechanisms of immune regulation are
apparently different in the various clinical stages of the disease, some of them
being antigen specific.
