Loughman JA et al. – Pharmacologic inhibition of IDO also increased human PMN transepithelial migration. Stimulation of IDO expression therefore represents a pathogen strategy to create local immune privilege at epithelial surfaces, attenuating innate responses to promote colonization and the establishment of infection.
