<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> PE25/PPE41 protein complex induces necrosis in macrophages: Role in virulence and disease reactivation?
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Necrotic cell death during TB infection is an important prerequisite for bacterial dissemination and virulence. The underlying mechanisms and the bacterial factors involved therein are not well understood. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) co-operonic PE25/PPE41 protein complex, similar to ESAT-6/CFP-10, belonging to the PE/PPE and ESAT-6 families of genes has co-expanded and co-evolved in the...
