Immunity to mycobacteria

I M Orme. Curr Opin Immunol. 1993 Aug.

Abstract

Recent progress in the field of immunity to mycobacteria has centered on T cell subset responses and the cytokines these cells secrete. In addition, there has been steady progress in identifying and characterizing several classes of major mycobacterial proteins; included amongst these are the secreted/export proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which several laboratories now believe may represent the key protective immunity-inducing antigens of the bacillus.
