Novel immunomodulators from hard ticks selectively reprogramme human dendritic cell responses.

Novel immunomodulators from hard ticks selectively reprogramme human dendritic cell responses.

Hard ticks subvert the immune responses of their vertebrate hosts in order to feed for much longer periods than other blood-feeding ectoparasites; this may be one reason why they transmit perhaps the greatest diversity of pathogens of any arthropod vector. Tick-induced immunomodulation is mediated b...
