IL-9 promotes methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
pneumonia by regulating the polarization and phagocytosis of macrophages

et al.
Abstract:In this study, we examined the effect of
Il9
deletion on macrophages in methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) infection. MRSA-infected mice were employed for the
in vivo
experiments, and RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with MRSA for the
in vitro
experiments. Macrophage polarization was determined by flow cytometry and quantitative real-time PCR; macrophage phagocytosis was assessed by flow cytometry and … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
