Wall teichoic acid-dependent phagocytosis of intact cell walls of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum elicits IL-12 secretion from macrophages

Selected lactic acid bacteria can stimulate macrophages and dendritic cells to secrete IL-12, which plays a key role in activating innate and cellular immunity. In this study, we investigated the roles of cell wall teichoic acids (WTAs) displayed on whole intact cell walls (ICWs) of Lactiplantibacil...
