<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Triggers Host Type I IFN Signaling To Regulate IL-1β Production in Human Macrophages
23 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a virulent intracellular pathogen that survives in macrophages even in the presence of an intact adaptive immune response. Type I IFNs have been shown to exacerbate tuberculosis in mice and to be associated with disease progression in infected humans. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which type I IFNs regulate the host response to M. tuberculosis infection are poorly understood. In...
