Heterologous expression of the filarial nematode alt gene products reveals their potential to inhibit immune function

BACKGROUND: Parasites exploit sophisticated strategies to evade host immunity that require both adaptation of existing genes and evolution of new gene families. We have addressed this question by testing the immunological function of novel genes from helminth parasites, in which conventional transge...
