The Leukotriene B(4)/BLT(1) Axis Is a Key Determinant in Susceptibility and Resistance to Histoplasmosis

The bioactive lipid mediator leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) greatly enhances phagocyte antimicrobial functions against a myriad of pathogens. In murine histoplasmosis, inhibition of the LT-generating enzyme 5-lypoxigenase (5-LO) increases the susceptibility of the host to infection. In this study, we inv...
