Identification of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> RNAs synthesized in response to phagocytosis by human macrophages by selective capture of transcribed sequences (SCOTS)

Abstract excerpt

A widely applicable, positive cDNA selection method was developed to identify RNAs synthesized by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in response to phagocytosis by cultured human primary macrophages. cDNAs for sigE and sigH (alternative sigma factors), aceA (isocitrate lyase), ponA (class I penicillin-binding protein), pks2 (polyketide synthase), uvrA (UvrABC endonuclease), and ctpV (putative cation transporter) were...
