Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an enzyme that degrades the essential amino acid tryptophan.Cells expressing IDO can suppress T-cell responses and promote tolerance
IDO could be expressed by Macrophages and DCs.
he mouse and human IDO gene promoters contain multiple sequence elements that confer responsiveness to type I (IFN-/) and, more potently, type II (IFN-) interferon.
IDO-expressing host APCs (whatever their subtype) might contribute to a state of local immunosuppression in tumour-draining lymph nodes, and might help to induce systemic tolerance to tumour antigens as well.

IFNG induces IDO expression via STAT1 and IRF-1 in DC

TLR4 -induced systemic IDO is largely dependent on TNF-alpha rather than IFN-gamma in macrophages.
