Peptide-triggered IL-12 and IFN-γ mediated immune response in CD4⁺ T-cells against Leishmania donovani infection

Abstract

Leishmania donovani are intracellular, human blood parasites that cause visceral leishmaniasis or kala-azar. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been shown to modulate intracellular processes, cargo delivery whereas host defense peptides (HDPs)...
