Crystal structure of Trichinella spiralis calreticulin and the structural basis of its complement evasion mechanism involving C1q

Helminths produce calreticulin (CRT) to immunomodulate the host immune system as a survival strategy. However, the structure of helminth-derived CRT and the structural basis of the immune evasion process remains unclarified. Previous study found that the tissue-dwelling helminth Trichinella spiralis...
