CULTURE OF MYCOBACTERIUM SMEGMATIS IN DIFFERENT CARBON SOURCES TO INDUCE IN VITRO CHOLESTEROL CONSUMPTION LEADS TO ALTERATIONS IN THE HOST CELLS AFTER INFECTION: A MACROPHAGE PROTEOMICS ANALYSIS

Culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis in Different Carbon Sources to Induce In Vitro Cholesterol Consumption Leads to Alterations in the Host Cells after Infection: A Macrophage Proteomics Analysis

During tuberculosis, Mycobacterium uses host macrophage cholesterol as a carbon and energy source.To mimic these conditions, Mycobacterium smegmatis can be cultured in Beach Shorts minimal medium (MM) to induce cholesterol consumption in vitro.During cultivation, M.smegmatis consumes MM cholesterol and changes the accumulation of cell wall compound

Neutrophils Expressing Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Play an Indispensable Role in Effective Bacterial Elimination and Resolving Inflammation in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection

Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a co-inhibitory molecule expressed on the surface of various cell types and known for its suppressive effect on T cells through its interaction with PD-1.Neutrophils also express PD-L1, and its expression is elevated in specific situations; however, the immunobiological role of PD-L1+ neutrophils has not been fu
