Abstract excerpt
Toxoplasma gondii infects virtually any nucleated cell and resides inside a non-phagocytic vacuole surrounded by a parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM). Pivotal to the restriction of T. gondii dissemination upon infection in murine cells is the recruitment of immunity regulated GTPases (IRGs) and guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) to the PVM that leads to pathogen elimination. The virulent T. gondii type I RH...
