immune system
• production of the cytokines/chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) and IL-6 upon stimulation with acylated phosphatidyl-inositol mannosides is lower in peritoneal exudate cells
• mice infected with M. bovis show lower production of MCP-1 in the peritoneal cavity
• mice infected with M. tuberculosis produce less MCP-1 in infection sites
|
• mice exhibit impaired immune response during mycobacterial infection
• mice infected with M. bovis BCG do not show an accumulation of small peritoneal macrophages upon infection
• accumulation of monocyte-derived inflammatory cells in lungs, mediastinal lymph nodes, and spleen after M. bovis infection is impaired
|
• mice injected with acylated phosphatidyl-inositol mannosides intraperitoneally show reduced MCP-1, MIP-2, and IL-6 secretion in the peritoneal cavity
|
• less IFN-gamma is secreted from peritoneal T cells and splenic T cells from M. bovis infected mutant mice than wild-type after re-stimulation with purified protein derivative
• levels of IFN-gamma in the peritoneal cavity of M. bovis infected mice are lower than in controls
• mice infected with M. bovis through the airways show reduced IFN-gamma production from mediastinal lymph node cells
|
• levels of IL-12 in the peritoneal cavity of M. bovis infected mice are lower than in wild-type mice
|
• upon mycobacterial M. bovis infection, mice show reduced numbers of monocyte-derived inflammatory cells at the infection site, impaired IFN-gamma production by T cells, and an increased bacterial load
• mice infected with M. bovis through airways, show reduced IFN-gamma production from mediastinal lymph node cells and higher bacterial loads in the lungs
• upon M. tuberculosis infection, mice produce less MCP-1 in infection sites and have higher average bacterial abundance than controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• production of the cytokines/chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) and IL-6 upon stimulation with acylated phosphatidyl-inositol mannosides is lower in peritoneal exudate cells
• mice infected with M. bovis show lower production of MCP-1 in the peritoneal cavity
• mice infected with M. tuberculosis produce less MCP-1 in infection sites
