Knowledge of the gut epithelium in modulating immune responses to cestode parasites is scant. Hymenolepis diminuta causes no damage to its rodent host and is expelled from mice. Hymenolepis diminuta (scolex+2cm strobila) was cultured with rat (IEC6), human (T84) or mouse (IEC4) epithelial cell lines
