Abstract
Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is highly
immunogenic component of mycobacterial
cell wall and has been reported to be the
cause of some of the non-specific
immunosuppression by mycobacteria (Chujor
et al. 1992). LAM plays an important role in
the pathogenesis of tuberculosis by down-
regulating the macrophage effector functions.
