Mouse infection by Legionella, a Model to Analyze Autophagy
22 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a conserved membrane traffic pathway that equips eukaryotic cells to capture cytoplasmic components within a double-membrane vacuole, or autophagosome, for delivery to lysosomes. Although best known as a mechanism to survive starvation, autophagy is now recognized to combat infection by a variety of microbes.(1-3) Not surprisingly, to establish a replication niche in host cells, some intracellular...
