Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) in latently infected individuals survives and thwarts the attempts of eradication by the immune system. During latency, Acr1 is predominantly expressed by the bacterium. However, whether M. tuberculosis exploits its Acr1 in impairing the host immunity remains widely unexplored. Hence, currently we have investigated the role of Acr1 in influencing the differentiation...
