Induction and regulation of CD8+ cytolytic T cells in human tuberculosis and HIV infection.

abstract：:AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a key role in maintaining intracellular and whole-body energy homeostasis. Activation of AMPK has been shown to ameliorate the symptoms of metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Here we show that gambogic acid (GB), a known antitumor agent, activates AMPK by ...
