Antigen-Presenting Cells in the Airways: Moderating Asymptomatic Bacterial Carriage

Antigen-Presenting Cells in the Airways: Moderating Asymptomatic Bacterial Carriage

Bacterial respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major global health burden, and the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in mounting an immune response to contain and clear invading pathogens is well-described. However, most encounters between a host and a bacterial pathogen do not result in...
