Abstract

ES-62, a filarial nematode-derived anti-inflammatory immunomodulator, was administered to mice in an attempt to prevent pathology associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection. The nematode product was shown to elevate mitogen and T. gondii-specific IL-10 production but was unable to inhibit Th1 responses. Consequently ES-62 could not prevent Th1 generated immunopathology.
