NK cells infiltrating in the central nervous system aggravate brain injury of mice caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection

Abstract: Background Angiostrongylus cantonensis (A. cantonensis), is a food-borne zoonotic parasite that can cause central nervous system (CNS) injury characterized by eosinophilic meningitis. However, the pathogenesis of the neurological impairments caused by A. cantonensis infection has not been well elucidated. Natural killer cells (NK cells) are unique innate lymphocytes important in early defense against pathogens. It was reported that NK cells could migrate to the CNS after brain injury. The aim of the present st… Show more
