Abstract

Using STAT6(-/-) BALB/c mice, we analyzed the role of STAT6-induced Th2 response in determining the outcome of murine cysticercosis caused by the helminth parasite Taenia crassiceps. After T. crassiceps infection, wild-type BALB/c mice developed a strong Th2-like response; produced high levels of IgG1, IgE, IL-4, as well as IL-13; and remained susceptible to T. crassiceps. In contrast, similarly infected STAT6(-/-) mice mounted a strong Th1-like response; produced high levels of IgG2a, IL-12, IFN-gamma, as well as nitric oxide; and efficiently controlled T. crassiceps infection. These findings demonstrate that Th2-like response induced via STAT6-mediated signaling pathway mediates susceptibility to T. crassiceps and, furthermore, that unlike the case in most helminths, immunity against T. crassiceps is mediated by a Th1-like rather than Th2-like response.
