Abstract excerpt
To investigate if transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP)-1 is required for CD8(+) T cell-mediated control of Toxoplasma gondii in vivo, we compared the resistance of TAP-1(-/-), CD8(-/-), and wild-type (WT) mice to infection with the parasite. Unexpectedly, TAP-1(-/-) mice displayed greater susceptibility than CD8(-/-), beta(2)-microglobulin(-/-) (beta(2)m(-/-)), or WT mice to infection with an...
