Abstract
MAC induced a similar expression of IL-23 from macrophages in the patients with MAC-LD compared to the controls, but a lower expression of IL-17 from lymphocytes, which may be through an increased expression of PD-1. The macrophage response of IL-12 p40 was stronger than that of IL-12 p70, and higher in the controls during MAC disease, which may suggest another kind of MAC-related immune evasion.
