Intracellular pathogens: Increased expression of CD40 and TNF


Mycobacteria, Salmonella receptors
Toxoplasma, Leishnmania Autocrine secretion of TNF-a
Fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes
Heighten the microbicidal function Microbicidal reactive oxygen and nitrogen
of the infected Macrophages species
