Filarial Lymphedema Is Characterized by Antigen-Specific Th1 and Th17 Proinflammatory Responses and a Lack of Regulatory T Cells
BACKGROUND: Lymphatic filariasis can be associated with development of serious pathology in the form of lymphedema, hydrocele, and elephantiasis in a subset of infected patients. METHODS AND FINDINGS: To elucidate the role of CD4(+) T cell subsets in the development of lymphatic pathology, we examin...
