Deskripsi
The human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis colonizes blood vessels and causes vascular damage, despite a neutrophil-rich inflammatory infiltrate. Here, Manriquez et al. use a humanized mouse model to show that pathogen colonization of capillaries and arterioles creates an intravascular niche that precludes an effective action of neutrophils.
