NLRP12-expressing dendritic cells mediate both dissemination of infection and adaptive immune responses in visceral leishmaniasis

Summary: The NLR protein NLRP12 contributes to innate immunity, but the mechanism remains elusive. Infection of Nlrp12−/− or wild-type mice with Leishmania infantum led to aberrant parasite tropism. Parasites replicated to higher levels in livers of Nlrp12−/− mice than in the livers of WT mice and f...
