Secretion of immunomodulatory molecules is a key strategy employed by pathogens to enable their survival in host organisms. For example, arthropod-transmitted filarial nematodes, which achieve longevity within the infected host by suppressing and modulating the host immune response, produce excretory-secretory (ES) products that have been demonstrated to possess immunomodulatory properties. In this review we discuss the immunomodulatory effects of the phosphorylcholine-containing filarial nematode-secreted glycoprotein ES-62 and describe the intracellular signal transduction pathways it targets to achieve these effects.
