Differential Interaction of Dendritic Cells withRickettsia conorii: Impact on Host Susceptibility to Murine Spotted Fever Rickettsiosis
3 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Spotted fever group rickettsioses are emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, some of which are life-threatening. In order to understand how dendritic cells (DCs) contribute to the host resistance or susceptibility to rickettsial diseases, we first characterized the in vitro interaction of rickettsiae with bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) from resistant C57BL/6 (B6) and susceptible C3H/HeN (C3H) mice. In...
