Interestingly, KH7 pretreated Cor1-/- BMDM when infected with M. smeg exhibited cAMP levels closer to KH7 pretreated Cor1-/- BMDM infected with live M. tb or M. bovis BCG at 30 min, but the cAMP levels fell for the former and rose for the later after 180 min of infection. The gene discussed is SYCP3; the disease is infection.
