Pharmacological Inhibition of Host Heme Oxygenase-1 Suppresses <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</named-content> Infection <italic toggle="yes">In Vivo</italic> by a Mechanism Dependent on T Lymphocytes
ABSTRACT Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a stress response antioxidant enzyme which catalyzes the degradation of heme released during inflammation. HO-1 expression is upregulated in both experimental and human Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and in patients it is a biomarker of active disease. Whet...
