HCL2 inhibits mycobacterial growth in axenic cultures. (A) Expression of peptide HCL2-His6X in H37Rv cells. Significant reductions were observed in mycobacterial growth in the presence of HCL2 as revealed by growth curves. Reduction with both endogenous (B) and exogenous (C) HCL2 was found statistically significant by applying Student’s T-test (*P < 0.05).
