Voltage gated calcium channels negatively regulate protective immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis modulates levels and activity of key intracellular second messengers to evade protective immune responses. Calcium release from voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC) regulates immune responses to pathogens. In this study, we investigated the roles of VGCC in regulating pro...
