Zinc/copper imbalance reflects immune dysfunction in human leishmaniasis: an ex vivo and in vitro study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The process of elimination of intracellular pathogens, such as <it>Leishmania</it>, requires a Th1 type immune response, whereas a dominant Th2 response leads to exacerbated disease. Experimental human zinc deficiency dec...
