Exploiting the Immunogenic Potential of Cancer Cells for Improved Dendritic Cell Vaccines.

abstract：:During the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection, macrophages can act as host cells for the parasites as well as effector cells in the early anti-parasitic immune response. Thus, the targeting of specific signaling pathways could modulate macrophages response to restrict parasite replication and instruct an appro...
