Effect of Apoptotic Cell Recognition on Macrophage Polarization and Mycobacterial Persistence
15 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Intracellular Mycobacterium leprae infection modifies host macrophage programming, creating a protective niche for bacterial survival. The milieu regulating cellular apoptosis in the tissue plays an important role in defining susceptible and/or resistant phenotypes. A higher density of apoptotic cells has been demonstrated in paucibacillary leprosy lesions than in multibacillary ones. However, the effect of...
