Leishmania Exosomes Deliver Preemptive Strikes to Create an Environment Permissive for Early Infection
Herein, we review evidence supporting a role for leishmania exosomes during early infection. We suggest a model in which leishmania secreted microvesicles released into the extracellular milieu deliver effector cargo to host target cells. This cargo mediates immunosuppression and functionally primes...
