Abstract: Examines the intracellular mycobacterial viability of mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)-induced apoptosis in monocytes. Association of MTB- induces apoptosis with CD14 expression; Correlation between MTB high doses and parasite survival; Role of monocytes on cytokines and chemokines release.
