Article Synopsis
- The immune system uses a process called phagocytosis to destroy germs, but some germs, like the one that causes brucellosis, can trick this defense.
- This germ activates a special process that breaks down a protein (BLOS1) needed for moving germs to lysosomes, where they get destroyed.
- When certain cells or mice couldn't use this breakdown process, they were better at fighting off the infection, showing that this protein plays an important role in protecting against germs.
