Human IL-23-producing type 1 macrophages promote but IL-10-producing type 2 macrophages subvert immunity to (myco)bacteria

TL;DR: IL-23 rather than IL-12 is the primary type 1 cytokine produced by activated proinflammatory Mphi-1, indicating that Mphi heterogeneity thus may be an important determinant of immunity and disease outcome in intracellular bacterial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe Mycobacterial and Salmonella Infections in Interleukin-12 Receptor-Deficient Patients

TL;DR: The lack of IL-12Rbeta1 expression results in a human immunodeficiency and shows the essential role in resistance to infections due to intracellular bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innate Immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: Different natural effector mechanisms for killing of M. tuberculosis have now been identified and these basic mechanisms augment the understanding of disease pathogenesis and clinical course and will be of help in designing adjunctive treatment strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of FOXP3 mRNA is not confined to CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells in humans.

TL;DR: The results indicate that FOXP3 expression in humans, unlike mice, may not be specific for cells with a regulatory phenotype and may be only a consequence of activation status.
