Studies in phagosome maturation : modulation by both the host phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p110alpha and the mycobacterial protein PE-PGRS62

Phagosome maturation is a key innate immune response involving interactions of phagosomes with the endosomal system. These interactions result in the creation of a destructive, antimicrobial phagolysosome compartment. How this process is regulated is not entirely known, and intracellular pathogens s...
