Abstract
In conclusion, these results suggest that T. gondii modulates gene expression of brain endothelial cells to promote its own migration through the blood-brain barrier in a 'Trojan horse' manner. Cells expressing CD11b either with or without CD11c are likely candidate cells for the intracellular transport of T. gondii across the BBB. T. gondii type I and type II strains induced similar migration patterns of antigen-presenting cells across the in vitro BBB.
