Abstract excerpt
Optimal protective effects for defense against infection require orchestration of immune responses spanning multiple host compartments and divergent local regulation at particular sites. During murine cytomegalovirus infections known to target spleen and liver, IL-12-induced IFN-gamma from NK cells is crucial for resistance. However, the roles for IL-18 and/or IL-12 in regulating hepatic IFN-gamma responses, as...
