Iron and infection: effects of host iron status and the iron-regulatory genes haptoglobin and NRAMP1 (SLC11A1) on host–pathogen interactions in tuberculosis and HIV

11 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

There are many lines of evidence illustrating that iron plays a pivotal role in modulating the battle for survival between mammalian hosts and their pathogens. Each displays considerable genetic investment in a wide range of mechanisms for acquiring and maintaining iron. These competitive mechanisms are highly complex, existing within an interacting matrix of absorption, transport, storage and detoxification...
