The macrophage scavenger receptor A is host-protective in experimental meningococcal septicaemia.
- Abstract:
-
Macrophage Scavenger Receptor A (SR-A) is a major non-opsonic receptor for Neisseria meningitidis on mononuclear phagocytes in vitro, and the surface proteins NMB0278, NMB0667, and NMB1220 have been identified as ligands for SR-A. In this study we ascertain the in vivo role of SR-A in the recognition of N. meningitidis MC58 (serogroup B) in a murine model of meningococcal septicaemia. We infected wild-type and SR-A(-/-) animals intraperitoneally with N. meningitidis MC58 and monitored their h...
