In contrast, although the TGFβ1 has been related to susceptibility and chronicity of the infection (Balak et al., 1992; Barral-Netto and Barral, 1994; Barral et al., 1995; Bogdan and Röllinghoff, 1998; Nieto et al., 2011; Hejazi et al., 2012; Rodrigues et al., 2014; Bhattacharya et al., 2016), its role has not been described in the context of early therapeutic response. Here, TGFB1 is linked to infection.
