Effect of rickettsial antigen-specific T cell line on the interaction of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi with macrophages.
The effect of rickettsial antigen-specific T cell line on macrophages infected with Rickettsia tsutsugamushi was studied. It was suggested that the T cells could produce a factor which acts cytotoxically and selectively on infected macrophages.
