Abstract:Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular bacterium that causes the deadly disease tularemia. Most evidence suggests that Francisella is not well recognized by the innate immune response that normally leads to protection against the infection. To elucidate the cellular signaling underlying this muted recognition of Francisella by the innate immune system, we performed a large‐scale comparative phosphoproteomic analysis of RAW 264.7 cells infected with either Francisella tularensis novicida or Salmo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
