The murine response to Listeria monocytogenes has long been considered a paradigm of T-cell-mediated immunity. There is, however, substantial evidence that T-cell-deficient mice are capable of surviving a L. monocytogenes challenge. Recently, advances have been made in our understanding of the cell

Host defense against intracellular pathogens is thought to require cytotoxic T cells. Recent studies have investigated the impact of host cell lysis and cytokine production by cytotoxic T lymphocytes on the fate of intracellular pathogens. The identification of two mechanisms of lysis induced by cyt
Advances in immune visualization have enabled the physical tracking of immune responses in vivo. The adaptation of such technology to models of infectious disease holds the promise of a more detailed analysis of host-pathogen interactions in a natural setting. However, the visualization of pathogens
