High-density lipoprotein suppresses tumor necrosis factor alpha production by mycobacteria-infected human macrophages
Abstract Immune responses to parasitic pathogens are affected by the host physiological condition. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are transporters of lipids between the liver and peripheral tissues, and modulate pro-inflammatory immune responses. Pathogenic mycobact...
