Mitogen-activated protein kinases and tumor necrosis factor alpha responses of macrophages infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi
2009-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligatory intracellular bacterium, is the causative agent of scrub typhus. The disease is histopathologically characterized by inflammatory manifestations, indicating that orientiae induce mechanisms that amplify the inflammatory response. Here we investigated the transcriptional response of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene and the host cell responses of nuclear factor-kappa B (...
