| Abstract |
The involvement of CD8(+)T cells in schistosomiasis is being increasingly appreciated, but the underlying mechanism is not well defined. In this study, we showed that the absence of Batf3 alleviated liver damage in Batf3 (-/-) mice infected with S. japonicum. We found alleviated liver granulomatous inflammation in Batf3 (-/-) mice with schistosomiasis japonica could not be attributed to the difference in schistosome egg or worm burden. The stronger Tc1 cell responses observed in Batf3 (-/-) mice suggested that the deletion of Batf3 resulted in more activation of CD8(+)T cells unexpectedly during the natural infection of schistosomes. We detected a small amount of CD8α(+) DCs in the spleen of Batf3 (-/-) mice at 9w post-infection. This small amount of newly generated CD8α(+) DCs might contribute to enhanced activation of CD8(+)T cells via cross-presentation and activation which then attenuate hepatic pathological damage found in Batf3 (-/-) mice. Our study provides evidence that Batf3 is associated with the immunoregulation of the liver granuloma formation, which may confer a new options for schistosomiasis treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 June 2017.
All research outputs
#14,352,337
of 22,982,639 outputs
Outputs from Parasites & Vectors
#2,839
of 5,489 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#176,293
of 315,940 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Parasites & Vectors
#89
of 150 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,982,639 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,489 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,940 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 150 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
