The protein kinase C (PKC) family regulates macrophage function involved in host defense against infection. In this study, we investigated the role of macrophage PKC-alpha in the uptake and subsequent fate of Leishmania donovani promastigotes and Legionella pneumophila infections. To this end, we used clones of the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 overexpressing a dominant-negative (DN) mutant of PKC-alpha....
