<i>Leishmania amazonensis</i>infection impairs differentiation and function of human dendritic cells
21 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) are of utmost importance in initiating an immune response and may also function as targets for pathogens. The presence of pathogens inside DCs is likely to impair their functions and thus, influence immune responses. In the present report, we evaluated the impact of the presence of Leishmania amazonensis during differentiation and maturation of human monocyte-derived DCs. The presence of...
