A structurally distinct TGF-β mimic from an intestinal helminth parasite potently induces regulatory T cells
Heligmosomoides polygyrus can activate mammalian TGF-β signalling pathways, but how it does so is not known. Here the authors identify and isolate a H. polygyrus TFG-β mimic that can bind both mammalian TGF-β receptor subunits, activate Smad signalling and generate inducible regulatory T cells.
