Abstract excerpt
Early secreted antigenic target 6-kDa protein (ESAT6) is an essential virulence factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb). However, ESAT6 helped fighting MTb infection according to vaccine studies. It's unclear whether ESAT6 confers protection via enhancing the innate immunity of macrophages, which are the first-line defense against MTb. We profiled the global transcriptional changes and characterized the innate...
