Abstract excerpt
Yersinia enterocolitica is enteropathogenic for humans and rodents, causing intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. The cellular immune response of the infected host has not yet been analyzed in detail. Therefore, we used a parenteral mouse infection model to determine the role of T lymphocytes in immunity against Y. enterocolitica. We report the generation and characterization of Y. enterocolitica-specific...
