Acute Ascaris infection impairs the effector functions of natural killer cells in single and Salmonella co-infected pigs

Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells play a key role in defense against Salmonella infections during the early phase of infection. Our previous work showed that the excretory/secretory products of Ascaris suum repressed NK activity in vitro. Here, we asked if NK cell functionality was influenced in do...
