Host Response and InflammationCD40 in Endothelial Cells Restricts Neural Tissue Invasion by Toxoplasma gondiiLittle is known about whether pathogen invasion of neural tissue is affected by immune-based mechanisms in endothelial cells. We examined the effects of endothelial cell CD40 on Toxoplasma gondii invasion of the retina and brain, organs seeded hematogenously. T. gondii circulates in the bloodstream...
Host Response and InflammationYersinia pseudotuberculosis Exploits CD209 Receptors for Promoting Host Dissemination and InfectionYersinia pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-negative enteropathogen and causes gastrointestinal infections. It disseminates from gut to mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), spleen, and liver of infected humans and animals.
- Host Response and Inflammation | SpotlightPlatelets Enhance Dendritic Cell Responses against Staphylococcus aureus through CD40-CD40L
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that can cause mild to severe life-threatening infections in many tissues and organs. Platelets are known to participate in protection against S. aureus by direct killing and by enhancing the activities of neutrophils and macrophages in clearing...
