Alternative activation deprives macrophages of a coordinated defense program to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: It is emphasized that alternative activation deprives macrophages of control mechanisms that limit mycobacterial growth in vivo, thus supporting intracellular persistence of M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type I IFN signaling triggers immunopathology in tuberculosis‐susceptible mice by modulating lung phagocyte dynamics

TL;DR: It is concluded that IFN I alters early innate events at the site of Mtb invasion leading to fatal immunopathology, furnish a mechanistic explanation for the detrimental role of IFn I in pulmonary TB and form a basis for understanding the complex roles ofIFN I in chronic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural killer T-cell characterization through gene expression profiling: an account of versatility bridging T helper type 1 (Th1), Th2 and Th17 immune responses

TL;DR: In this article, the gene expression profiles of natural killer T (NKT) cells were compared with other conventional T lymphocytes, including CD4+ T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 cytokines upon T-cell receptor ligation.
