Official Title: The Role of Inflammasome in Inflammatory Macrophage in Mycobacterium Avium Complex-lung Disease and Mycobacterium Abscessus-lung Disease

Brief Summary:

  1. To investigate the inflammasome response of inflammatory and resting macrophage derived from healthy human participants by stimulation using MAC or MAB bacilli.
  2. To compare the difference of inflammasome response of inflammatory macrophage by MAC/MAB bacilli stimulation between MAC/MAB-LD patients and the colonizers.
  3. To study the diagnostic aid from immunological markers in inflammasome response in inflammatory macrophage stimulated by MAC/MAB.
