Persistent expression of activation markers on Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific CD4 T cells in smear negative TB patients.

Persistent expression of activation markers on Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific CD4 T cells in smear negative TB patients.

<h4>Background</h4>T cell activation (HLA-DR, CD-38), proliferation (KI-67), and functional (IFN-γ, TNF-α) markers have recently been shown to be useful in predicting and monitoring anti-TB responses in smear positive TB, but previous research did not characterize the activation and prol...
