Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mycobacterium avium Bacilli Grow Saprozoically in Coculture with Acanthamoeba polyphaga and Survive within Cyst Walls

TL;DR: The growth ofMycobacterium avium, a human pathogen associated with domestic water supplies, in coculture with the free-living amoeba and Canthamoeba polyphaga is compared with the growth of M. avium when it was separated fromAmoebae by a 0.1-μm-pore-size polycarbonate membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proposal of Afipia gen. nov., with Afipia felis sp. nov. (formerly the cat scratch disease bacillus), Afipia clevelandensis sp. nov. (formerly the Cleveland Clinic Foundation strain), Afipia broomeae sp. nov., and three unnamed genospecies.

TL;DR: Six Afipia species are gram-negative, oxidase-positive, nonfermentative rods in the alpha-2 subgroup of the class Proteobacteria, which are motile by means of a single flagellum and grow on buffered charcoal-yeast extract agar and nutrient broth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of in vitro models for the study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis invasion and intracellular replication.

TL;DR: The data indicate that M. tuberculosis infects and multiplies intracellularly in human lung epithelial cells and that these cells may be an alternative in vitro model for the study of intrACEllular multiplication of M.culosis in the human lung.
Journal ArticleDOI

Necrosis of Lung Epithelial Cells during Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Preceded by Cell Permeation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lung epithelial cell cytotoxicity is specific to infection by virulent mycobacteria and is caused by cellular necrosis.
