摘要
This review summarizes recent work from our laboratory demonstrating the activation of B lymphocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells by DNA from three different protozoan parasites of cattle and humans that is qualitatively similar to the now well-described effects of CpG-containing bacterial DNA. This novel mechanism of protozoan parasite recognition by the innate immune system could facilitate recovery from acute infection or contribute to infection-related pathology.
