Development of a guinea pig immune response-related microarray and its use to define the host response following Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of human monocytes, macrophages, and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) on the fungal pathogen Blastomyces dermatitidis in vitro. Peripheral blood monocyte monolayers significantly inhibited the replication of a virulent strain (V) and an avirulent strain (AV) of...
