Abstract
Mammalians use the kynurenine pathway for tryptophan degradation inducing tolerogenic immune responses. Zelante et al. report that similarly, the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus uses the kynurenine pathway. Pathogenic immune response occurs when the fungus catabolizes tryptophan via the indolepyruvate pathway, which targets host AhR. Administration of Ido inducers ameliorates infection outcome.File in questo prodotto:
