Abstract
β casein fragment peptide (54–59) downregulates Basic Transcription factor 3a (BTF3a) in macrophages and exhibits enhanced clearance of M. bovis BCG and several other intracellular pathogens. However, the direct effect of BTF3a downregulation on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) survival and the probable pathways involved have not yet been studied. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to deduce the antimycobacterial significance of BTF3a...
