The Importance of a β‐Glucan Receptor in the Nonopsonic Entry of NontypeableHaemophilus influenzaeinto Human Monocytic and Epithelial Cells
15 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Previous reports showed that nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) reside in macrophage-like cells in human adenoid tissue. This study investigated the ability of nonopsonized NTHi and encapsulated H. influenzae type b (Hib) to enter human monocytic and epithelial cells. The number of intracellular bacteria was determined by a viability assay and flow cytometry. To characterize the mechanisms responsible for...
