mediates the phagocytic killing of ingested pathogens via the production of reactive oxygen
species (ROS). However, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is relatively resistant to the
microbicidal effects of ROS. Thus, the exact roles of NOX2 in the innate immune control
against Mtb infection are not fully resolved. In this study, we show that NOX2 is essential for
TLR2-dependent inflammatory responses and 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1, 25D 3) …
