Expression of CD1d and Ligand-Induced Cytokine Production Are Tissue Specific in Mucosal Epithelia of the Human Lower Reproductive Tract

Mucosal epithelia of the human lower reproductive tract (vagina, cervix, and penile urethra) are exposed to sexually transmitted microbes, including Chlamydia trachomatis. The in vivo susceptibility of each tissue type to infection with C. trachomatis is quite distinct. CD1d is expressed on the surf...
