HpBoRB, a helminth-derived CCP domain protein which binds RELMβ

Abstract Helminth infections persist by influencing host immunity through the release of immunomodulatory proteins which prevent immune ejection. The intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri (Hpb) secretes multiple families of immunomodulatory proteins, many of which are composed of consecutive Complement Control Protein (CCP) domains. We hypothesized that further CCP domain proteins are secreted by the parasite to interact with the host.

Vaccination against helminth IL-33-modulators permits immune-mediated parasite ejection

|
By Danielle Smyth, Suzanne Hodge, Nicole Ong, Josh Richards
| biorxiv.org
Abstract The murine intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri powerfully modulates the host immune response. This is achieved in part through the HpARI family (HpARI1/2/3), which act on IL-33, and the HpBARI family (HpBARI and HpBARI_Hom2), which act on ST2. Here, we find that this immunomodulation is evident only in the first week of infection, with abrogation of ST2 detection and systemic suppression of IL-33-dependent responses.
