Dynamics of Macrophage Cell Populations During Murine Pulmonary Tuberculosis
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
The influx of macrophages into the lungs is the major component of the granulomatous response to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this investigation we used flow cytometric analysis to define macrophage populations entering the airways and lung tissues of infected mice. We demonstrate that by the judicious use of cell surface markers, especially CD11b and CD11c, several cell populations can be...
