Ly6G deficiency alters the dynamics of neutrophil recruitment and pathogen capture during Leishmania major skin infection
Abstract Neutrophils represent one of the first immune cell types recruited to sites of infection, where they can control pathogens by phagocytosis and cytotoxic mechanisms. Intracellular pathogens such as Leishmania major can hijack neutrophils to establish an efficient infection. However the dynam...
