Effect of HIV-1 infection on T-Cell-based and skin test detection of tuberculosis infection [PDF]
RATIONALE: Two forms of the IFN-gamma release assay (IFNGRA) to detect tuberculosis infection are available, but neither has been evaluated in comparable HIV-infected and uninfected persons in a high tuberculosis incidence environment.

Whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals slow growth and low mutation rates during latent infections in humans [PDF]
Very little is known about the growth and mutation rates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during latent infection in humans. However, studies in rhesus macaques have suggested that latent infections have mutation rates that are higher than that observed ...

Do successful tuberculosis vaccines need to be immunoregulatory rather than merely Th1-boosting? [PDF]
Tuberculosis vaccine candidates are entering clinical studies in areas where BCG fails. This is a high-risk strategy. We suggest that geographical variation in the efficacy of BCG is related to the presence in developing countries of a cross-reactive ...

B Cells Regulate Neutrophilia during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination by Modulating the Interleukin-17 Response [PDF]
We have previously demonstrated that B cells can shape the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the level of neutrophil infiltration and granulomatous inflammation at the site of infection. The present study examined the mechanisms by

An investigation of the transmission dynamics of M. tuberculosis. [PDF]
We develop an age-structured deterministic model (TBDYN3) of the transmission dynamics of M. tuberculosis in England and Wales since 1900. The model estimates the age-specific risks of developing' primary', 'endogenous' and 'exogenous' disease and ...
