Abstract:
Chlamydophila pneumoniae was shown to prevent IFN gamma-inducible upregulation of MHC-class II molecules by secreting chlamydial protease-like activity factor (CPAF) into the cytosol of those host cells which support the complete bacterial replication cycle. CPAF acts by degrading upstream stimulatory factor 1 (USF-1). However, in cells like bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM), which restrict chlamydial replication, we show that CPAF expression is barely detectable and the expression of USF-1...     »
