Helminth products as macrophage “trainers”: a novel tool to induce anti-inflammatory trained immunity

Kingston University Faculty of Health, Science, Social Care and Education

The innate immune system can display characteristics of immunological memory. This phenomenon, termed “trained immunity”, refers to the long-term functional reprogramming of innate immune cells after the encounter with infectious or non-infectious agents that influences their capacity to respond to a secondary stimulus.
