Journal ArticleDOI

Variability in tuberculosis granuloma T cell responses exists, but a balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines is associated with sterilization.

TL;DR: The results support that each granuloma within an individual host is independent with respect to total cell numbers, proportion of T cells, pattern of cytokine response, and bacterial burden, and the spectrum of these components overlaps greatly amongst animals with different clinical status.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphotyrosine-dependent coupling of Tim-3 to T-cell receptor signaling pathways.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that two of the more membrane-proximal cytoplasmic tail tyrosines are required for Tim-3 signaling to T-cell activation pathways in a redundant fashion and Tim-2 can directly bind to the Src family tyrosine kinase Fyn and the p85 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) adaptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactivation of latent tuberculosis in cynomolgus macaques infected with SIV is associated with early peripheral T cell depletion and not virus load.

TL;DR: Initial T cell depletion may strongly influence outcomes of HIV-Mtb co-infection in HIV-infected humans, and granulomas from these animals demonstrated histopathologic characteristics consistent with a chronically active disease process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuberculosis Susceptibility and Vaccine Protection Are Independently Controlled by Host Genotype

TL;DR: A model system that captures the breadth of immunological responses observed in outbred individual mice can be used to understand the contribution of host genetics to vaccine efficacy and provide a model system to develop interventions that will be useful in genetically diverse populations.
