Synthetic lipopeptide MALP-2 inhibits intracellular growth of Mycobacterium bovis BCG in alveolar macrophages-preliminary data.

abstract：:We have previously shown that deuterium oxide (D2O) enhances the oxidation of methionine, a myeloperoxidase (MPO) -mediated reaction, by human neutrophils during phagocytosis. However, D2O has no effect on the oxidation of methionine by the purified MPO-H2O2-Cl- system. To explain this observation, we studied the effe...
