Role of gamma/delta T cell receptor-expressing lymphocytes in cutaneous infection caused byStaphylococcus aureus
16 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
The high number of gamma/delta-expressing T cells found in the epithelial lining layer suggests that they form a first line of defence against invading pathogens. To evaluate the role of gamma/delta T cell-receptor (TCR)-expressing cells in cutaneous infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus, mice lacking gamma/delta-expressing T cells (TCRdelta-/-) were inoculated intradermally with S. aureus, and compared with...
