Interfering with Interferons for Host Targeted Therapy of Bacterial Infections.
Laurel Lenz has made major contributions to our understanding of the innate and adaptive immune response to the intracellular bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. As a Ph.D. student with Mike Bevan at the University of Washington Laurel performed pioneering work on the requirements for CD8+ antigen presentation by Listeria identifying a role for the non-classical restriction element H-2-M3.
