Codon Optimization> | … pDE43-MEK. The fluorescent protein Kusabira Orange was originally isolated from the stony coral Fungia concinna (Karasawa et al., 2004), and the mKO derivative used here was codon-optimized for Mtb by GenScript. (3) Dual … | Get A Quote |
(Mtb) continues to be a threat to Global Public Health, and its control will require an array of therapeutic strategies. It has been appreciated that high-throughput screens using cell-based assays to identify compounds targeting Mtb within macrophages represent a valuable tool for drug discovery. However, the host immune environment, in the form of lymphocytes and cytokines, is completely absent in a chemical screening platform based on infected macrophages alone. The absence of these players unnecessarily limits the breadth of novel host target pathways to be interrogated. In this study, we detail a new drug screening platform based on dissociated murine TB granulomas, named the Deconstructed Gran... More
