Abstract excerpt
Th1 cell responses to the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of African trypanosomes play a critical role in controlling infection through the production of IFN-gamma, but the role of APCs in the induction and regulation of T cell-mediated protection is poorly understood. In this study, we have investigated the Ag presentation capabilities of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages during early trypanosome...
