Intratumoral Tcf1+PD-1+CD8+ T Cells with Stem-like Properties Promote Tumor Control in Response to Vaccination and Checkpoint Blockade Immunotherapy.

TL;DR: This work identified a subset of tumor‐reactive TILs bearing hallmarks of exhausted cells and central memory cells, including expression of the checkpoint protein PD‐1 and the transcription factor Tcf1 that promote tumor control in response to vaccination and checkpoint blockade immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PPE18 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Interacts with TLR2 and Activates IL-10 Induction in Macrophage

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one of the PPE proteins, PPE18 can stimulate macrophages to secrete IL-10, known to favor a Th2 type response, and may trigger an anti-inflammatory response by inducing IL- 10 production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early secreted antigen esat-6 of mycobacterium tuberculosis promotes protective t helper 17 cell responses in a toll-like receptor-2-dependent manner

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that early secreted antigenic target protein 6 (ESAT-6), expressed by the virulent M. tb strain H37Rv but not by BCG, promotes vaccine-enhancing Th17 cell responses, which indicates that, in addition to Th1 immunity induced byBCG, RD1/ESAT 6-induced Th17 immune responses are essential for optimal vaccine efficacy.
