ACOD1 and infection: However, since NMII load was comparable in the spleen and livers of Acod1−/− and wild‐type mice after intratracheal infection (Fig 3A and B), these data indicate that ACOD1 exerts an immunoregulatory function as described previously in mice following endotoxin challenge or infection with M. tuberculosis (Mills et al, 2018; Nair et al, 2018).
