Dissecting the interplay between the dynamics of immune responses and pathogen proliferation in vivo
Pathogen proliferation has profound implications for its persistence, treatment strategies, and the induction and execution of protective immune responses. In vivo, pathogen proliferation rates are heterogenic, confronting the immune system with a variety of microbial physiological states. It is unknown if, and by what molecular mechanism, the immune response can distinguish these different states on a cellular level. Also, understanding the link between pathogen proliferation and immune cell dynamics could provide critical information on how infections can be controlled, and how to counteract pathogen persistence and antibiotic resistance. However, this question has never been addressed…
