TL;DR
This review proposes a novel mechanism of immunomodulation based on the observation that accessory cells from schistosome-infected individuals are capable of inducing a state of unresponsiveness or energy in a subpopulation of antigen-specific CD4(+) T(H)-cell clones identified with delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions.
Abstract
Schistosomes are capable of causing severe tissue damage, which results from the granulomatous inflammation that develops around the parasite eggs. Characteristic of this inflammatory process is its gradual, spontaneous down-regulation (immunomodulation) as the disease progresses. There has been general agreement that the granulomatous inflammation is a consequence of T(H)-cell-mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity to egg antigens. However, the basis of immunomodulation is less clear and has been attributed to various causes. In this review, Miguel Stadecker proposes a novel mechanism of immunomodulation based on the observation that accessory cells from schistosome-infected individuals are capable of inducing a state of unresponsiveness or energy in a subpopulation of antigen-specific CD4(+) T(H)-cell clones identified with delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions.

It is postulate that granuloma macrophages, and potentially other accessory cells in schistosome-infected individuals, are similarly capable of inducing anergy in egg Ag-specific Th cells, and that the resulting inhibited T cell reactivity represents a major basis of the immunologic down-regulation (immunomodulation) of granulomatous hypersensitivity, characteristically seen in this disease.

The dynamics of IL-2 production by SEA-challenged isolated hepatic granulomas (HG) and cells isolated enzymatically from the HG are determined, consistent with the main features of the working hypothesis, but it remains to be proven that in vivo deficiency of lymphokine(s) such asIL-2 is responsible for the spontaneous decrease in granulomatous inflammation and that this lymphokin deficiency is a result of suppression.
