IL-18BP mediates the balance between protective and pathological immune responses to Toxoplasma gondii

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) promotes natural killer (NK) and T cell production of interferon (IFN)-γ, a key factor in resistance to Toxoplasma gondii, but previous work has shown a limited role for endogenous IL-18 in control of this parasite ...
