Abstract

Human monocytes can differentiate into dendritic cells (DC) according to the nature of environmental signals. Pathogenic mycobacteria have been demonstrated interfere with this process to generate a not fully competent DC population. This mechanism is not common to non-pathogenic mycobacteria and could be correlated with bacterial virulence. However, it could represents a new mechanism of immune escape by persistent pathogens or a control mechanism of immune system to preserve the life of the organ against persistent infections. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
