Antigen specificity and cross-reactivity drive functionally diverse anti–Aspergillus fumigatus T cell responses in cystic fibrosis

BACKGROUND The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus causes a variety of clinical phenotypes in patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Th cells orchestrate immune responses against fungi, but the types of A. fumigatus–specific Th cells in pwCF and their contribution to protective immunity or inflammation rema...
