Abstract excerpt

In murine listeriosis, elimination of bacteria and immunity to reinfection critically depend on Thy1+ CD4- cells, while cell-mediated inflammatory phenomena such as DTH and granuloma formation are mostly mediated by CD4+ T cells. In an attempt to correlate T cell phenotype and function with a par...
