ABSTRACT
Trehalose dimycolates (TDMs) are the most abundant glycolipids found in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). TDMs play an important role in the pathogenesis of M. tb yet the only known receptor for TDM is the macrophage inducible C-type lectin (mincle). To understand more about the interaction of TDMs with immune cells, affinity based proteome profiling (AfBPP) can be used to determine receptors that bind TDMs. To this end, we present the synthesis of the first AfBPP-TDM probe and report on its ability to activate macrophages. By doing so, we establish that the AfBPP-TDM probe appears to be a suitable substrate for future proteomic profiling experiments.
