Leishmaniasis is a chronic infection in which intracellular parasites avoid destruction by the immune system. Using intravital imaging, Filipe-Santos et al. (2009) demonstrate that some parasitized dendritic cells receive much less attention than others during their choreographed dance with T cells, suggesting that these "wallflowers" could allow for parasite survival.
利什曼病是一种慢性感染，其中细胞内寄生虫可避免被免疫系统破坏。菲利佩 - 桑托斯等人（2009年）利用活体成像技术证明，在与T细胞精心编排的“舞蹈”过程中，一些被寄生的树突状细胞受到的关注远少于其他细胞，这表明这些“壁花”可能会使寄生虫得以存活。
