Article Synopsis
  • The study identified new dynein light chain proteins in Schistosoma mansoni that show promise as vaccine candidates.
  • Mice immunized with these proteins produced strong antibody responses and exhibited a significant reduction in worm burden and smaller liver granulomas compared to non-vaccinated controls.
  • The findings suggest that these DLC proteins could be further developed for schistosomiasis vaccination due to their protective effects and lower inflammatory response in the liver.
