IL-4Rα-associated antigen processing by B cells promotes immunity in Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection.
In this study, B cell function in protective T(H)2 immunity against N. brasiliensis infection was investigated. Protection against secondary infection depended on IL-4Rα and IL-13; but not IL-4. Protection did not associate with parasite specific antibody responses. Re-infection of B cell-specific I...
