“…Interleukin- (IL-) 4- and IL-10-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were present in both La and Lb infection; however, interferon- (IFN-) γ-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were detected only in Lb infection. The results suggest that during Lb infection, the dDCs were the predominant subset of DCs that in turn was associated with the development of Th1 immune response; in contrast La infection was associated with a preferential accumulation of LCs and total blockage of the development of Th1 immune response.…”
