Hepatic stellate cells regulate liver immunity to visceral leishmaniasis through P110δ‐dependent induction and expansion of regulatory T cells in mice

Forough Khadem, Xiaoling Gao, Zhirong Mou, Ping Jia, Hesamaldin Movassagh, Chukwunonso Onyilagha, Abdelilah S. Gounni, Matthew C. Wright, Jude E. Uzonna – 20 August 2015 – Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is associated with severe immune dysfunction and if untreated leads to death. Because the liver is one of the primary target organs in VL, unraveling the mechanisms governing the local hepatic immune response is important for understanding the immunopathogenesis of VL.
