In vitro co-culture models of human cells and microbial pathogens offer a controlled system to study host–pathogen interactions. This chapter details the methods to establish such co-culture models for a fungal and an amoebic infection using two different human cell lines. Employing this experimental system allows the researcher to evaluate MIF’s contribution to infection-driven host cell death and pro-inflammatory gene expression.

摘要

In vitro co-culture models of human cells and microbial pathogens offer a controlled system to study host–pathogen interactions. This chapter details the methods to establish such co-culture models for a fungal and an amoebic infection using two different human cell lines. Employing this experimental system allows the researcher to evaluate MIF’s contribution to infection-driven host cell death and pro-inflammatory gene expression.
