Primary infection begins with inhalation of 1 to 10 aerosolised bacilli. The pathogenicity of the organism is determined by its ability to escape host immune responses as well as eliciting delayed hypersensitivity. Alveolar macrophages engulf the invading cells but are unable to mount an effective defense. Several virulence factors are responsible for this apparent failure; most notably in the mycobacterial cell wall are the cord factor, lipoarabinomannan, and the 65 kd heat shock protein or HSP65.;Description:Mouse Anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis 38kDa Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Mouse;Species Reactivity:Bacteria;Clone#:HTM93;Isotype:IgG2b;Application:ELISA, WB;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
