Abstract
Peritoneal macrophages isolated from mannoside-methylated bovine serum albumin (MBSA)-immunized mice showed significantly enhanced phagocytosis of Mycobacterium smegmatis compared to control or MBSA-immunized groups. Immune macrophages also exhibited bacteriostatic activity against M. smegmatis. Pretreatment of mycobacteria with mannoside antibodies did not further alter the phagocytosis and bacteriostatic effect of immune macrophages.Entities:
