Helminths products directly modulate T cells that mediate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Infection with helminths can protect against the development of autoimmune diseases and this has been associated with induction of anti‐inflammatory innate immune responses and Tregs. Here, we demonstrate that helminth‐derived products can directly target T cells, especially IL‐17‐secreting γδ T cells that play a key pathogenic role in CNS autoimmune disease.
