Abstract:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The sterility of the blood circulation is essential for\u00a0 human health, but the cellular and molecular basis for microbial recognition and capture has remained largely unclear.\u00a0 Recent\u00a0 studies have uncovered that the resident macrophages in the liver (Kupffer cells) and spleen (red pulp macrophages) are responsible for capturing and killing blood-borne bacteria.\u00a0 This sterilizing immunity requires the initial recognition of invading bacteria by pattern-recognition receptors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7700,"template":"","event_type":[19],"event_mode":[22],"class_list":["post-7699","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_type-seminars","event_mode-on-site"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCellular and molecular basis of blood sterility -
