Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis is an innate defense function of macrophages against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that during mycobacterial infection, cell death is regulated by the eicosanoids, prostaglandin E2 (proapoptotic) and lipoxin (LX)A4 (pronecrotic) and, although PGE2 protects against necrosis, virulent Mtb induces LXA4 and inhibits P GE2 production.
Journal ArticleDOI

In search of a new paradigm for protective immunity to TB

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the immune control of M. tuberculosis are discussed and how this knowledge could be used for vaccine design and evaluation is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efferocytosis Is an Innate Antibacterial Mechanism

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that after apoptosis, M. tuberculosis is killed only after efferocytosis, indicating that apoptosis itself is not intrinsically bactericidal but requires subsequent phagocytic uptake and lysosomal fusion of the apoptotic body harboring the bacterium.
