## Abstract Tuberculosis causes 2 million deaths __per__ year, yet in most cases the immune response successfully contains the infection and prevents disease outbreak. Induced lymphoid structures associated with pulmonary granuloma are observed during tuberculosis in both humans and mice and could
## Abstract The nonβtoxic Bβsubunit of Shiga toxin (STxB) interacts with the glycolipid Gb~3~, which is preferentially expressed on dendritic cells (DC) and B cells. After administration of STxB chemically coupled to OVA (STxBβOVA) in mice, we showed that the immunodominant OVA~257β264~ peptide res
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with advanced disseminated tuberculosis (Dis-TB) do not respond to purified protein derivative (PPD) measured as cell proliferation, lymphokine production and interleukin (IL)-2 receptor (Tac antigen) expression. Limiting dilution analysis revealed "m
T cell activation and the resultant production of interleukin (IL-2) is a central response of the adaptive immune system to pathogens, such as hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV uses several mechanisms to evade both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune response. Here we demonstrate that liver biops
We studied the incidence of TB and TB-AIDS in the area served by "La Fe" hospital in Valencia. We also studied the different evolution of the incidence of TB and TB-AIDS during the 1985-1989 period. We noticed the progressive increase of the incidence of TB in AIDS patients, while the incidence of T
