The role of IL-5 in the immune responses to nematodes in rodents.

M Korenaga1, I Tada.   

Abstract

In this review, Masataka Korenoga and Isoo Toda discuss the role of interleukin 5 (IL-5) in immune responses caused by parasitic infections. Recent studies have shown that eosinophilia in parasitic infections is dependent on IL-5. Although eosinophils have been thought to be potent effector cells (from results of experiments, in vitro), their role in protective immunity to parasites is controversial.
