Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been characterized from many species of parasitic helminths, and recent experimental evidence supports important functions for their cargo in host-parasite relationships as immunomodulatory mediators. Here we summarize available data on the effects of parasite-derived EVs, including their protein and/or small RNA contents, on their hosts.
外泌体 (EVs) 已从许多种寄生蠕虫中得到了描述,最近的实验证据支持了它们在宿主-寄生虫关系中作为免疫调节介质的货物的重要功能。在这里,我们总结了有关寄生虫衍生的 EV 的影响的现有数据,包括它们的蛋白质和/或小 RNA 含量,对其宿主的影响。
