Protective CD4+ Th1 cell-mediated immunity is reliant upon ex*****on of effector function prior to the establishment of the pathogen niche Author summary Ongoing chronic infection with the intracellular parasite Leishmania major results in robust protective immunity at sites of secondary challenge. However, translation of our understanding of this protective response into an efficient vaccine has remained elusive. This is due, at least...
