Mechanisms of selective immunosuppressive effects of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase and borrelidin
Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO), a tryptophan degrading enzyme, is a potent immunomodulatory factor that has been considered as a promising candidate in down-regulating alloimmune responses. IDO expression generates a tryptophan-deficient environment that selectively induces apoptosis in immune c...
