The role of parasite-derived arginase in murine Leishmania major
The outcome of infection with Leishmania major depends in part on the balance between arginase and inducible nitric oxide synthase in macrophages. These enzymes compete for the substrate L-arginine. Leishmania major also encodes an arginase gene but, the role of this parasite-derived enzyme in inf...
