Selective Expression of Type I IFN Genes in Human Dendritic Cells Infected with <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Type I IFN regulates different aspects of the immune response, inducing a cell-mediated immunity. We have recently shown that the infection of dendritic cells (DC) with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) induces IFN-alpha. In this work we have monitored a rapid induction of IFN-beta followed by the delayed production of the IFN-alpha1 and/or -alpha13 subtypes. The Mtb infection rapidly activates the NF-kappaB...
