Cytotoxic T cells mediate pathology and metastasis in cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Disease progression in response to infection can be strongly influenced by both pathogen burden and infection-induced immunopathology. While current therapeutics focus on augmenting protective immune responses, identifying therapeutics that reduce infection-induced immunopathology are clearly warran...
