SGCG and listeriosis: Listeria has long been used as a model organism to understand the adaptive immune response, however more recently interest in the field has focused on the innate immune pathways required to produce type I and type III interferons and bacterial modulators of type I and type III interferons during Listeria infection of nonphagocytic cells (Lebreton et al., 2011; Abdullah et al., 2012; Bierne et al., 2012; Hagmann et al., 2013; Odendall et al., 2014).
