Abstract excerpt
v-Maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog B (MAFB) is a candidate gene associated with early tuberculosis onset identified by a genome-wide association study. Here, we investigated the role of Mafb in susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection in myeloid-specific Mafb-knockout (Mafb-cKO) mice. Mtb infection was performed both in vitro using bone marrow-derived macrophages...
