Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato inhibits CIITA transcription through pSTAT3 activation and enhanced SOCS1 and SOCS3 expression leading to limited IFN-γ production by Michelle A.E. Brouwer, Zara Karami, Samuel T. Keating, Hedwig Vrijmoeth, Heidi L.M. Lemmers, Helga Dijkstra, Frank L. van de Veerdonk, Mihaela Lupse, Hadewych J.M. ter Hofstede, Mihai G. Netea, Leo A.B. Joosten

“…Interferons (IFNs) are important signaling molecules in the human immune response against micro-organisms. Throughout initial Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi s.l.) infection in vitro, inadequate IFN-γ production results in the absence of a strong T-helper 1 cell response, potentially hampering the development of an effective antibody responses in Lyme borreliosis (LB) patients. …”
