Abstract excerpt
In its vertebrate host, Leishmania encounters cells that express TLRs. Using genetically resistant C57BL/6 mice deficient in either TLR2, 4, or 9, we show in this study that only TLR9-deficient mice are more susceptible to infection with Leishmania major. TLR9-deficient mice resolved their lesion...
