Dr. Sizemore et al., INTERACTION OF SALMONELLA-TYPHI STRAINS WITH CULTURED HUMAN MONOCYTE-DERIVED MACROPHAGES, Infection and immunity, 65(1), 1997, pp. 309-312
Human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) provided this laboratory with
a tool to develop a primary-cell assay for evaluating the relative vi
rulence of newly constructed Salmonella typhi carrier strains, In this
study, the interaction with and survival within MDM were compared for
Delta aroA143-attenuated strains, wildtype virulent strains, and the
current oral-vaccine strain, Ty21a.
