A Genome-Wide Knockout Screen in Human Macrophages Identified Host Factors Modulating <italic toggle="yes">Salmonella</italic> Infection

ABSTRACT A genome-scale CRISPR knockout library screen of THP-1 human macrophages was performed to identify loss-of-function mutations conferring resistance to Salmonella uptake. The screen identified 183 candidate genes, from which 14 representative genes involved in actin dynamics (ACTR3, ARPC4, C...
