A TYPE I INTERFERON AND IL-10 INDUCED BY ORIENTIA TSUTSUGAMUSHI INFECTION SUPPRESSES ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC T CELLS AND THEIR MEMORY RESPONSES

A Type I Interferon and IL-10 Induced by Orientia tsutsugamushi Infection Suppresses Antigen-Specific T Cells and Their Memory Responses

Despite the various roles of type I interferon (type I IFN) responses during bacterial infection, its specific effects in vivo have been poorly characterized in scrub typhus caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi infection.Here, we show that type I IFNs are primarily induced via intracellular nucleic acids sensors, including RIG-I/MAVS and cGAS/STING pat
