Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid Effector Function in CD8+ Memory T Cells

TL;DR: The phenotype of CD8+ T cells, which persist at a low frequency long after recovery from an acute viral infection, suggests that they play a role in protective immunological memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human cytolytic and interferon gamma-secreting CD8+ T lymphocytes specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TL;DR: These results provide direct evidence for the involvement of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in host defense against M. tuberculosis in humans and support current attempts to generate protective cytot toxic T lymphocyte responses againstM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis of Bacille Calmette-Guérin Vaccine Using Mucosal Administration and Boosting with a Recombinant Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara

TL;DR: It is shown that recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara, expressing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag 85A (M.85A), strongly boosts bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-induced Ag85A specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses in mice, which support further evaluation of mucosally targeted prime-boost vaccination approaches for tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective mucosal immunity elicited by targeted iliac lymph node immunization with a subunit SIV envelope and core vaccine in macaques

TL;DR: Protection in macaques immunized with a recombinant SIV envelope gp120 and core p27 vaccine was associated with significant increase in the iliac lymph nodes of lgA antibody–secreting cells to p27 and the chemokines RANTES and MIP–1β.
Journal ArticleDOI

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Induces Nitric Oxide Synthase and Suppresses Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Human Macrophage-Like Cell Line

TL;DR: It is found that 1,25-D3 acts to suppress the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in these cells and that this effect is inhibited byNG-monomethyl-l-arginine, suggesting that vitamin D-induced NO production may play a role in the host defense against human tuberculosis.
