Clearance of pathogens by Kupffer cells is an important innate immune process in the liver. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, McDonald et al. reveal that microbial-derived D-lactate promotes Kupffer-cell-mediated killing of circulating pathogens.
库普弗细胞对病原体的清除是肝脏中重要的先天免疫过程。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中,McDonald 等人揭示了微生物衍生的 D-乳酸促进了库普弗细胞对循环病原体的杀伤作用。
