Abstract
The molecular bases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenicity remain unclear. We report here how M. tuberculosis mannosylated lipoarabinomannans contribute to the survival of bacilli in the human reservoir by (i) inhibiting IL-12 production by macrophages and dendritic cells and (ii) modulating M. tuberculosis-induced macrophage apoptosis.Entities:
