Tick sialostatins L and L2 differentially influence dendritic cell responses to Borrelia spirochetes

Abstract Background Transmission of pathogens by ticks is greatly supported by tick saliva released during feeding. Dendritic cells (DC) act as immunological sentinels and interconnect the innate and adaptive immune system. They control polarization of the immune response towards Th1 or Th2 phenotyp...
