✦ Synopsis

Recent advances have characterized the protective immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These include identification of the phenotype of some protective cells, the antigens to which these cells respond and the cytokines produced in response to infection which modulate disease. Progress has also been made in inducing this response by vaccination.

## Abstract The human immune response to tuberculosis (TB) is especially mediated by T CD4^+^lymphocytes. However, more studies are needed in order to understand the exact role of each cytokine in the mechanisms for cures. In this article, our aim was to analyze the production of TNF‐α, IL‐10, and
