[Research progress of immunoregulation of B cells to schistosome infection]
Recent studies found that B cell subsets and their factors have double effects on anti- and aiding schistosome infection. This article summarizes the research progress of positive and negative immunoregulation of schistosome infection involving B lymphocytes, antibody and regulatory B cells (Bregs) relating cytokines (IL-10, IL-7 and TGF-β).

B Cell Activation and Differentiation
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
