Resistance to visceral leishmaniasis is severely compromised in mice deficient of bradykinin B2-receptors

BACKGROUND: Kinins liberated from plasma–borne kininogens, are potent innate stimulatory signals. We evaluated whether resistance to infection by Leishmania (L.) chagasi depends on activation of G-protein coupled bradykinin B2 receptors (B2R). FINDINGS: B2R (−/−) C57BL/6 knock-out (KOB2) and B2R(+/+...
