Journal ArticleDOI

Human tuberculous granulomas induce peripheral lymphoid follicle-like structures to orchestrate local host defence in the lung.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the follicular structures in the peripheral rim of granulomas serve as a morphological substrate for the orchestration of the enduring host response in pulmonary tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The adaptor molecule CARD9 is essential for tuberculosis control

TL;DR: Evidence that deregulated innate responses trigger excessive lung inflammation is provided and a pivotal role of CARD9 signaling is demonstrated in autonomous innate host defense against tuberculosis is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-Wall Alterations as an Attribute of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Latent Infection

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that ZN-negative specimens represent Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli in a dormant state with distinct cell-wall alterations, and that detection of mycobacteria by cell- wall composition-independent staining using a polyclonal anti-M.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Organization of the Local Immune Response in Patients with Active Cavitary Tuberculosis or with Nonprogressive Tuberculoma

TL;DR: It is concluded that differential regulation of the local immune response is crucial for the containment of M. tuberculosis and that a continuous antigen-specific cross talk between the host immune system and M.culosis is ensured during latency.
