Fig. 1From: Mycobacterium tuberculosis: escape room world championMycobacterium tuberculosis breaks out of lysosomes. The left electron microscopic image shows M. tuberculosis bacteria (black arrows) in the cytoplasm of an infected dendritic cell. The remaining empty phagolysosomes (white arrows) have been stained with gold labeled antibodies against LAMP1 (lysosome associated membrane protein), a protein specifically for lysosomes Colloidal gold particles (visible as black dots) show the location of antibody binding (see also the inset on the photo). In the right figure a dendritic cell is infected with another mycobacterium strain, M. bovis. This is the mycobacterium from the BCG vaccine (Bacille Calmette Guérin) against tuberculosis. This mycobacterium remains within the lysosome. (Further details in reference [2])Back to article page
