IFN-γ stimulated murine and human neurons mount anti-parasitic defenses against the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii can persist in neurons in the central nervous system, presumably because neurons have limited cell-intrinsic immune responses. However, here, Chandrasekaran et al. show that IFN-gamma stimulated primary murine neurons can clear T. gondii and that IFN-gamma stimulated murine and hum...
