Mycobacterium tuberculosis has evolved successful strategies to invade and persist within macrophages. Intimate pathogen-macrophage contacts dictate receptor choice and probably specify the intracellular fate of these microorganisms. Binding to specific receptors, such as complement receptor type 3, could provide an advantage. These interactions appear to involve surface polysaccharides and glycolipids.
结核分枝杆菌已经进化出成功的策略来侵入巨噬细胞并在其中持续存在。病原体与巨噬细胞的紧密接触决定了受体的选择,并可能决定这些微生物在细胞内的命运。与特定受体(如3型补体受体)结合可能具有优势。这些相互作用似乎涉及表面多糖和糖脂。
