5-Lipoxygenase deficiency impairs innate and adaptive immune responses during fungal infection.

5-Lipoxygenase deficiency impairs innate and adaptive immune responses during fungal infection.

5-Lipoxygenase-derived products have been implicated in both the inhibition and promotion of chronic infection. Here, we sought to investigate the roles of endogenous 5-lipoxygenase products and exogenous leukotrienes during Histoplasma capsulatum infection in vivo and in vitro. 5-LO deficiency led...
