Type I interferon exacerbates Mycobacterium tuberculosis induced human macrophage death
12 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Type I interferons (IFN-I) are implicated in exacerbation of tuberculosis (TB), but the mechanisms are unclear. Mouse macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) produce IFN-I, which contributes to their death. Here we investigate whether the same is true for human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). MDM prepared by a conventional method markedly upregulate interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) upon...
