Research field
Investigating the innate immune response to Trichinella spiralis infection, characterizing the antigen ES L1 of T. spiralis and analyzing its immunomodulatory properties, with a particular focus on its effects on dendritic cells, to assess its potential therapeutic use. The analysis of the ES L1 antigen involves isolating and characterizing extracellular vesicles from T. spiralis.
