Mycobacterium avium Infection of Multinucleated Giant Cells Reveals Association of Bacterial Survival to Autophagy and Cholesterol Utilization by Jayanthi J. Joseph, Amy Leestemaker-Palmer, Soheila Kazemi, Lia Danelishvili, Luiz E. Bermudez

“…While granuloma formation with MGCs is a common feature of mycobacterial infection, the role of MGCs within the granulomas as well as in the host-pathogen interaction is poorly understood. To shed light on the role of MGCs, we established a novel in vitro model utilizing THP-1 cells stimulated with a combination of IFN-γ and TNF-α. …”
