Type II Toxoplasma gondii Induction of CD40 on Infected Macrophages Enhances Interleukin-12 Responses
15 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can cause severe neurological disease in infected humans. CD40 is a receptor on macrophages that plays a critical role in controlling T. gondii infection. We examined the regulation of CD40 on the surface of T. gondii-infected bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMdMs). T. gondii induced CD40 expression both at the transcript level and on the cell surface,...
