Deficiency in astrocyte CCL2 production reduces neuroimmune control of Toxoplasma gondii infection.
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects one-third of the world's human population and establishes infection in the brain. Cerebral immune cell infiltration is critical for controlling the parasite, but little is known about the molecular cues guiding immune cells to...
