Deskripsi

Exposure to multiple pathogens is common in nature, yet interactions between the immune components targeting bacterial and viral pathogens during co-infection are poorly understood. Here the authors show that bacteria-derived LPS induces cytotoxic NK cells that suppress antiviral CD8 T cell response.
