LeishmaniaPriming of Human Dendritic Cells for CD40 Ligand-Induced Interleukin-12p70 Secretion Is Strain and Species Dependent
28 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
A major question in the study of leishmaniasis is what dictates clinical disease expression produced by different Leishmania species, i.e., cutaneous versus systemic and healing versus nonhealing. Animal models using a Leishmania species associated with self-limiting cutaneous disease (L. major) have revealed that protective immunity requires CD40/CD40 ligand (CD40L)-dependent, interleukin-12 (IL-12)-driven Th1...
