By using mice genomically lacking the mononuclear phagocytic growth factor colony-stimulating factor 1 and thereby deficient in macrophage and dendritic cell populations, we show that these cells play a dual role: they constitute a major defense against systemic infection but also facilitate cerebral bacterial invasion by Listeria monocytogenes.
通过使用基因上缺乏单核吞噬细胞生长因子集落刺激因子1从而巨噬细胞和树突状细胞群体存在缺陷的小鼠,我们发现这些细胞发挥着双重作用:它们构成了抵御全身感染的主要防线,但也促进了单核细胞增生李斯特菌对脑部的细菌侵袭。
