MPO and tuberculosis: Based on our previous in vitro findings in human neutrophils that inhibition of MPO limits M. tuberculosis induced and MPO-mediated necrotic cell death in vitro and promotes control of mycobacterial growth, we hypothesized that ABAH treatment can also be beneficial in vivo against experimental tuberculosis in susceptible C3HeB/FeJ mice where neutrophils are involved in disease exacerbation.
