CTLs: Killers of intracellular bacteria
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Many microbial pathogens have evolved a range of capabilities to evade host immune defense mechanisms and to survive and multiply in host cells. The presence of host intracellular bacteria makes it difficult for specific antibodies to function. After the
