Extracellular adenosine enhances the ability of PMNs to kill <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> by inhibiting IL-10 production
2019-07-26
Abstract excerpt
PMNs are crucial for initial control of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) lung infection; however, as the infection progresses their persistence in the lungs becomes detrimental. Here we explored why the anti-microbial efficacy of PMNs declines over the course of infection. We found that the progressive inability of PMNs to control infection correlated with phenotypic differences characterized by a decrease...
