Abstract

Helminthiasis is highly prevalent in Asia, Africa and South America, seriously affecting human health and economic development. Helminths infection can initiate host T cell immune response, thereby affecting T cell proliferation and differentiation. Some data indicate that in helminth infection, signalling pathways including transforming growth factor-β/Smad(TGF-β/Smad), inducible costimulator-inducible costimulator ligands (ICOS-ICOSL), programmed cell death protein-1/programmed death protein-1 ligand (PD-1/PD-L1), toll-like receptors/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (TLRs/MyD88). can participate in host T cell immune response, the interaction between signalling molecules can induce T cell proliferation and differentiation, then affect the host T cells to play an role in anti-worm infection effect. This article has reviewed the research advances on T cell immune response-related signalling pathways in worm infection.
