M. tuberculosis envelope encloses diverse immunomodulatory lipid and glycolipid families. (A) Schematic representations of bacteria envelopes (MB, membrane; PG, peptidoglycan; AG, arabinogalactan) and examples of unique (glyco)lipid structures found in mycobacteria envelope. (B) Most of Mtb envelope components have immunomodulatory properties, in particular though their interaction with Pattern Recognition Receptors.
