    P66 is a bacterial mimic of CD47 that binds the anti-phagocytic receptor SIRPα and facilitates macrophage evasion by Borrelia burgdorferi, 2024

    Abstract Innate immunity, the first line of defense against pathogens, relies on efficient elimination of invading agents by phagocytes. In the co-evolution of host and pathogen, pathogens developed mechanisms to dampen and evade phagocytic clearance. Here, we report that bacterial pathogens...

    Reduction of host cell mitochondrial activity as Mycobacterium leprae’s strategy to evade host innate immunity, 2021, Oliveira et al

    Abstract Leprosy is a much‐feared incapacitating infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae or M lepromatosis, annually affecting roughly 200,000 people worldwide. During host‐pathogen interaction, M leprae subverts the immune response, leading to development of disease. Throughout the...
