摘要：
TGM-2, a novel immunomodulatory protein derived from the helminth Heligmosomoides polygyrus, mimics TGF-β and exhibits significant potential in treating allergic conditions. The study reveals its receptor binding properties, particularly with TGFBR1 and TGFBR2, and demonstrates its ability to induce regulatory T cells (Tregs) and alleviate allergic airway inflammation in murine models. This research underscores the therapeutic potential of helminth-derived proteins in managing immune-mediated diseases.
