Modulation of the mTOR pathway plays a central role in dendritic cell functions after Echinococcus granulosus antigen recognition
Abstract Immune evasion is a hallmark of persistent echinococcal infection, comprising modulation of innate immune cells and antigen-specific T cell responses. However, recognition of Echinococcus granulosus by dendritic cells (DCs) is a key determinant of the host's response to this parasite....
