Schistosoma japonicum Infection Promotes the Response of Tfh Cells Through Down-Regulation of Caspase-3–Mediating Apoptosis

CD4+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, a new subset of immune cells, have been demonstrated to be involved in granulomatous responses to Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) infection. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of Tfh cell aggregation in S. japonicum infection remain incompletely un...
