Macrophage Gal/GalNAc Lectin 2 (MGL2)+ Peritoneal Antigen Presenting Cells during Fasciola hepatica Infection Are Essential for Regulatory T Cell Induction

By using MGL2-DTR transgenic mice that encode human diphtheria toxin receptor in MGL2+ cells, scientists demonstrated the role of peritoneal APCs during F. hepatica infection in favoring parasite survival.
