Blood feeding by the Rocky Mountain spotted fever vector, <it>Dermacentor andersoni</it>, induces interleukin-4 expression by cognate antigen responding CD4<sup>+ </sup>T cells
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Tick modulation of host defenses facilitates both blood feeding and pathogen transmission. Several tick species deviate host T cell responses toward a Th2 cytokine profile. The majority of studies of modulation of T cell cytokine exp...
