Immunomodulation by<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>: Toward Understanding the Association of Dendritic Cells with Infecting TcI and TcII Populations
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) are major immune components, and depending on how these cells are modulated, the protective host immune response changes drastically. Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasite with high genetic variability and modulates DCs by interfering with their capacity for antigen recognition, migration, and maturation. Despite recent efforts, the association between DCs and T. cruzi I (TcI) and TcII populations...
