Negative regulation of Schistosoma japonicum egg-induced liver fibrosis by natural killer cells.
The role of natural killer (NK) cells in infection-induced liver fibrosis remains obscure. In this study, we elucidated the effect of NK cells on Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) egg-induced liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis was induced by infecting C57BL/6 mice with 18-20 cercariae of S. japonicum...
