RESUMO

The migratory properties of THP1 monocytes infected by Coxiella burnetii were determined in a transmigration assay across a human microvascular endothelial cell monolayer. Transendothelial migration of monocytes infected by virulent, but not avirulent, C. burnetii was inhibited. This inhibition was observed in spite of conserved adherence properties of infected monocytes.
