The relative contribution of antibody production and CD8+ T cell function to immune control of Trypanosoma cruzi
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
The life cycle of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi in mammalian hosts includes both non-dividing trypomastigote forms which circulate in the blood and replicating intracellular amastigotes which reside within the cytoplasm of a variety of host cells. In this study we have used mice with induced mutations in genes responsible for either antibody production or cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) function to...
