Léčba autoimunitních onemocnění helmintoterapií
STRANKMÜLLEROVÁ, Zuzana
This bachelor thesis will discuss the impact of gastrointestinal helminths on the human immune system concentrating especially on their therapeutical potency in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Epidemiological studies show a significant difference between developing and developed countries. This inequality gave rise to the two hypotheses: the Hygiene Hypothesis and the Old Friend Hypothesis. These theories mention the fact that exposure to the parasites may lower the risk of developing autoimmune diseases. Anti-inflammatory products of helminths modulate the immune system to induce Th2 response (with rising levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines e.g. IL-4, IL-10 a TGF-). Therefore, helminths or their molecules can cure autoimmune inflammatory diseases or even diseases of civilisation.
Cytokines and chemokines, their role in the infections with helminths.
Majer, Martin ; Panská, Lucie (advisor) ; Leštinová, Tereza (referee)
Parasitic helminths belong to extracellular pathogens of mammals, including human. Immunologic response depends on their migration and site of dwelling within host body. The response is among other affected by cytokines and chemokines. These small proteins are responsible for appropriate proliferation and migration of other components of immune system. These bachelor thesis summarizes current knowledge about their role during helminth infection in mammals.
