DC-SIGN Is the Major Mycobacterium tuberculosis Receptor on Human Dendritic Cells (2003, background): “Protective anti-mycobacterial immune response involves mainly T lymphocytes that activate the M microbicidal functions through the release of interferon (2, 3).”
Of Mice and Not Men: Differences between Mouse and Human Immunology (2004, background): “Similarly to / T cells the CD1 family of molecules has been implicated in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis, but their precise role has yet to be defined (42, 43).”
