Monocytes from Uninfected Neonates Born to <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>-Infected Mothers Display Upregulated Capacity to Produce TNF-α and to Control Infection in Association with Maternally Transferred Antibodies

Monocytes from Uninfected Neonates Born to <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>-Infected Mothers Display Upregulated Capacity to Produce TNF-α and to Control Infection in Association with Maternally Transferred Antibodies

Activated monocytes/macrophages that produce inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide are crucial for controlling <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> infection. We previously showed that uninfected newborns from <i>T. cruzi</i> infected mothers (M+B- newborns) were sensitized to produce...
