Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in primary macrophages with SNPs affecting cytokine secretion under treatment with drugs in solution or microparticles. MATERIALS & METHODS: Volunteers were typed for TNF (-308G/A), IL-10 (-1082A/G) and IL-4 (-590C/T). Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) were infected in vitro. Cytokine secretion and survival of intracellular bacilli were estimated....
