T cell intrinsic STAT1 signaling prevents aberrant Th1 responses during acute toxoplasmosis
Infection-induced T cell responses must be properly tempered and terminated to prevent immuno-pathology. Using transgenic mice, we demonstrate that T cell intrinsic STAT1 signaling is required to curb inflammation during acute infection with Toxoplasma ...
