Airway immune signatures of protection and disease progression in recent human tuberculosis household contacts - Nature Immunology

The local immune factors dictating whether individuals who have been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis remain healthy or progress to active tuberculosis (TB) have not been defined. Here O’Garra...

Pleased to see this out now in @jem.org 🔬 We characterise the early immune response during M. tuberculosis infection in mouse models and demonstrate a detrimental role for type I interferon activated neutrophils in TB lesions. Thanks to all involved @crick.ac.uk and i3S, Porto.

Looking forward to presenting our work on early mechanisms of TB susceptibility at the @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social Symposium in June 🦠🔬
