Differential Roles of the Calcium Ion Channel TRPV4 in Host Responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Early and Late in Infection.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis subverts host immunity to proliferate within host tissues. Non-selective transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are involved in host responses and altered upon bacterial infections. Altered expression and localization of TRPV4 in macrophages upon virulent M.
