Antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells fail to respond to Shigella flexneri.

abstract：:CD8 T cells are effective mediators of specific immunity to infection by Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterial pathogen that initially infects macrophages in the spleen and liver and subsequently spreads to hepatocytes and unidentified parenchymal cells in the spleen. To identify the in vivo target cells of L. monocytog...
