Early secretory antigen target of 6-kDa of Mycobacterium tuberculosis inhibits macrophage apoptosis and host defense via TLR2

Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) is an intracellular pathogen adept at evading the human immune system through a variety of mechanisms. During infection, M. tb secretes numerous virulence factors, including the 6 kDa early secretory antigen target (ESAT-6), which is produced by the ESX-1...
