Ovulation is believed to contribute to the development of ovarian cancers that derive from the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). The process of ovulation is synonymous with inflammation and inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1α (IL-1α) have r...

Removal of regulatory T cell activity reverses hyporesponsiveness and leads to filarial parasite clearance in vivo. (2005)
Journal Article

Human filarial parasites cause chronic infection associated with long-term down-regulation of the host’s immune response. We show here that CD4+ T cell regulation is the main determinant of parasite survival. In a laboratory model of infection, using...
