Abstract excerpt
The present paper analyzes the cytokine response of mouse macrophages during infection by Listeria monocytogenes. The use of different mutants of L. monocytogenes impaired in various steps of the infection process allowed us to dissect the cytokine response. Cytokine mRNA expression was detected...
