TLR4 competence and mouse models of leptospirosis
2025-02-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4> Abstract </h4> Mice are slowly being accepted as alternative models for investigation of leptospiral infection. The strain most used to analyse sublethal disease (C3H-HeJ) expresses a tlr4 gene in its immune cells that is hyporesponsive to leptospiral LPS and thus the model is deemed immunocompromised. To help resolve this valid scientific concern we did a study in which we compared infection with Leptosp...
