TARGETING OF LONG CHAIN TRIACYLGLYCEROL HYDROLASE GENE FOR TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT

摘要

Disclosed herein are novel methods for screening for compounds useful in treating or preventing tuberculosis. In exemplary embodiments, screening methods are based on the implementation or manipulation of triacylglycerol hydrolase like polypeptides or polynucleotides encoding the same. The methods are useful in identifying agents active against TB infection.
