title = "Sequential Sensing by TLR2 and Mincle Directs Immature Myeloid Cells to Protect against Invasive Group A Streptococcal Infection in Mice",
abstract = "Matsumura et al. show that γIMCs sequentially sense group A Streptococcus (GAS) through TLR2 and Mincle. Specifically, TLR2-triggered production of IL-6 functions as an intermediate that amplifies Mincle expression to maximize host protection through IFN-γ production. The sequential sensing is a distinct feature in γIMCs following severe invasive GAS infection.",
