Research Abstract |
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is known to cause pneumonia in humans. It is, however, unclear how pneumonia occurs. Our laboratory previously reported that Mycoplasma pneumoniae-derived lipoproteins induce inflammatory responses. We then examined the interaction between the lipoproteins and host in order to elucidate the onset mechanisms. We found that the lipoproteins are extremely important in the onset of mycoplasma-pneumonia.
