Even though we did not identify Tgfb1 in the subset of transcripts upregulated in response to early infection with L. donovani promastigotes, we recently described eIF4A-dependent increase in Tgfb1 mRNA translation efficiency in BMDMs infected with L. donovani promastigotes and amastigotes for 6 h41. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and infection.
