From:BMC Infectious Diseases (Vol. 15, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Acute inflammatory reactions are a frequently occurring, tissue destructing phenomenon in infectious- as well as autoimmune diseases, providing clinical challenges for early diagnosis. In leprosy, an...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedMycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (M. bovis BCG), the only currently available vaccine against tuberculosis, has been reported to induce regulatory T cells in humans. The activity of regulatory T cells may...

From:PLoS Pathogens (Vol. 12, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedB-cells not only produce immunoglobulins and present antigens to T-cells, but also additional key roles in the immune system. Current knowledge on the role of B-cells in infections caused by intracellular bacteria is...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIntracellular cytokine staining combined with flow cytometry is one of a number of assays designed to assess T-cell immune responses. It has the specific advantage of enabling the simultaneous assessment of multiple...

From:PLoS Pathogens (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedTuberculosis (TB) is an escalating global health problem and improved vaccines against TB are urgently needed. HLA-E restricted responses may be of interest for vaccine development since HLA-E displays very limited...

From:Journal of Clinical Investigation (Vol. 128, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe lack of defined correlates of protection hampers development of vaccines against tuberculosis (TB). In vitro mycobacterial outgrowth assays are thought to better capture the complexity of the human...

From:PLoS Pathogens (Vol. 11, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMycobacterial antigens are not exclusively presented to T-cells by classical HLA-class Ia and HLA-class II molecules, but also through alternative antigen presentation molecules such as CD1a/b/c, MR1 and HLA-E. We...

From:PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases (Vol. 8, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedRegulatory T ([T.sub.reg]) cells are known for their role in maintaining self- tolerance and balancing immune reactions in autoimmune diseases and chronic infections. However, regulatory mechanisms can also lead to...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 13, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBackground Multiplex assays are increasingly applied to analyze multicomponent signatures of human immune responses, including the dynamics of cytokine and chemokine production, in observational as well as...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedTuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a leading cause of death worldwide. A better understanding of the role of CD4.sup.+ and CD8.sup.+ T cells, which are both important to TB...
