Protective immunity against Nippostrongylus brasiliensis requires antigen presentation by IL-4Rα responsive B cells
Includes bibliographical references. === Nippostrongylus brasiliensis is a parasitic nematode infection that affects rodents. B-cells have been shown to play an important role in immunity to many different infections by antibody production and T-cell activation. But B-cell function in the protective...
