| Research Abstract |
To reveal the molecular mechanism of hot tub lung (HTL) caused by mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), we constructed experimental mouse model of HTL. The formalin-killed MAC isolated from the HTL patient caused HTL-like inflammation in murine lung. Moreover, HTL-like inflammation was dependent on TLR9-MyD88 signaling and the lung CD11c+ cell was involved in the inflammation
