Gene context of Giardiasis

  • In conclusion, increased TNF-alpha and sIL-2R may be involved in pathogenesis of non-allergic giardiasis and probably Th1 type immune response seems to be predominant and this response may be protective rather than causative of the disease [22].
  • The role of adhesion molecules; the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) as mediators in development of skin allergy caused by giardiasis and the controlling role of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 over these adhesion molecules were studied [23].
  • Chronic giardiasis in B-cell-deficient mice expressing the xid gene [24].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Due to its low specificity antigliadin antibodies are not useful for the screening of CD in patients with giardiasis [25].
  • Sera from patients without a history of giardiasis and with no detectable antibody by an indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) assay (IFA titers less than 1:2) killed from 8 to 76% of trophozoites (n = 23 sera) [26].
