Protein kinase C θ (PKCθ) functions as a core component of the immunological synapse and serves as a key protein in the integrated T-cell antigen receptor (TCR)/CD28-induced signaling cascade leading to T-cell activation. However, the involvement of PKCθ in host-mediated immune responses to pathogens has not been thoroughly investigated. We tested the consequences of PKCθ ablation on the host response to...
