STING-dependent recognition of cyclic di-AMP mediates type I interferon responses during Chlamydia trachomatis infection. [PDF]
UnlabelledSTING (stimulator of interferon [IFN] genes) initiates type I IFN responses in mammalian cells through the detection of microbial nucleic acids. The membrane-bound obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis induces a STING-dependent
