The Role of Protein Kinases in Antigen-activation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Schistosoma mansoni Infected Individuals

The Role of Protein Kinases in Antigen-activation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Schistosoma mansoni Infected Individuals

T cell recognition of antigens displayed on the surface of antigen presenting cell results in rapid activation of protein tyrosine kinases and kinase C. This process leads to second messengers, such as inositol phosphates and diacylgycerol, and phosphorylation of multiple proteins. The role of diffe...
