Localized skin inflammation during cutaneous leishmaniasis drives a chronic, systemic IFN-γ signature
2020-12-04
Abstract excerpt
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a localized infection controlled by CD4+ T cells that produce IFN-γ within lesions. Phagocytic cells recruited to lesions, such as monocytes, are then exposed to IFN-γ which triggers their ability to kill the intracellular parasites. Consistent with this, a transcriptional analysis of lesions from patients identified the presence of a strong interferon stimulated gene (ISG) signature. To...
