Abstract excerpt
Mannose-capped lipoarabinomannans (Man-LAMs) are members of the repertoire of Mycobacterium tuberculosis modulins that the bacillus uses to subvert the host innate immune response. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) production is critical for mounting an effective immune response by the host against M. tuberculosis. We demonstrate that Man-LAM inhibits IL-12 p40 production mediated by subsequent challenge with...
