Dermal neutrophil, macrophage and dendritic cell responses to Yersinia pestis transmitted by fleas.
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is typically transmitted by the bite of an infected flea. Many aspects of mammalian innate immune response early after Y. pestis infection remain poorly understood. A previous study by our lab showed that neutrophils are the most prominent cell type re...
