Th2-dependent STAT6-regulated genes in intestinal epithelial cells mediate larval trapping during secondary Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri infection.

Gastrointestinal helminths are a major health threat worldwide. Alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) have been shown to contribute to host protection during secondary helminth infections.
