Abstract
⺠Foxp3-expressing regulatory cell counts increase over time in Toxocara-induced hepatic inflammation. ⺠Splenic expression of Foxp3 transcripts increases over time in Toxocara-infected mice. ⺠Mice sensitized by excretory-secretory antigen of Toxocara before experimental infection exhibit earlier appearance of Foxp3+ regulatory cells. ⺠Foxp3-expressing regulatory cells seem to play a role in Toxocara-induced immunopathology.
