Viral Inhibition of Bacterial Phagocytosis by Human Macrophages: Redundant Role of CD36.

Macrophages are essential to maintaining lung homoeostasis and recent work has demonstrated that influenza-infected lung macrophages downregulate their expression of the scavenger receptor CD36. This receptor has also been shown to be involved in phagocytosis of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a primary a...
