Current opinion in immunology, 2000•ElsevierInfection with Listeria monocytogenes is a well studied model for understanding host
resistance to intracellular bacteria. Recent advances in the study of Listeria have carefully
quantitated the response of CD8+ T cells to infection and analyzed the effector functions of
these cells in vivo. A surprising role for antibody in mediating resistance to Listeria has also
recently emerged, providing new insight into the mechanisms of host defense.
