Parasitic helminths tip the balance: potential anti-inflammatory therapies (2004)
Journal Article
Proudfoot, L. (2004). Parasitic helminths tip the balance: potential anti-inflammatory therapies. Immunology, 113(4), 438-440. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2567.2004.01996.x

Parasitic helminths are worms that are classified within the phyla Nematoda (roundworms) and Platyhelminthes (flatworms) (see Table 1). Some nematode species, Filariae being a notable example, are able to coexist with their human host for decades. In...

Inhibition of neutrophil recruitment by ES of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (2004)
Journal Article
Keir, P. A., Brown, D. M., Clouter-Baker, A., Harcus, Y. M., & Proudfoot, L. (2004). Inhibition of neutrophil recruitment by ES of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Parasite Immunology, 26(3), 137-139. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0141-9838.2004.00692.x

It has been reported that excretory–secretory (ES) material from the parasitic nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis has potential modulatory effects on the host's immune system. We observed that intratracheal instillation of ES from the L3 stage of... Read More about Inhibition of neutrophil recruitment by ES of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.

Expression of C-Reactive Protein in Human Lung Epithelial Cells and Upregulation by Cytokines and Carbon Particles (2004)
Journal Article
Ramage, L., Proudfoot, L., & Guy, K. (2004). Expression of C-Reactive Protein in Human Lung Epithelial Cells and Upregulation by Cytokines and Carbon Particles. Inhalation Toxicology, 16(9), 607-613. https://doi.org/10.1080/08958370490464599

C-reactive protein (CRP) is the prototypic human acute-phase protein and is found at increased levels in the blood during episodes of inflammation. CRP was generally thought to be produced only by hepatocytes; however, several studies have shown extr...
