The Hypervirulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain HN878 Induces a Potent TH1 Response followed by Rapid Down-Regulation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that although type I IFN does play an inhibitory role, this response was most apparent during the chronic disease stage and was common to all M. tuberculosis strains tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

A recombinant Mycobacterium smegmatis induces potent bactericidal immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: A role for the esx-3 locus is established in promoting mycobacterial virulence and the IKE strain is identified as a potentially powerful candidate vaccine vector for eliciting protective immunity to M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Animal model of Mycobacterium abscessus lung infection

TL;DR: It is shown that IFN‐γ is critically important in the host defense against M. abscessus and the GKO mice provide a model for in vivo testing of novel drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cellular Immune Response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in the Guinea Pig

TL;DR: Results show that the responding T cells are mostly CD4 cells and that after day 30 of the infection numbers of these cells in the lungs drops dramatically, and these appear to be replaced by a steady increase in B cells and granulocytes which was associated with worsening lung pathology.
