Journal ArticleDOI

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis-Specific CD8+ T Cells Are Functionally and Phenotypically Different Between Latent Infection and Active Disease

TL;DR: The activity of Mt b infection and clinical presentation are associated with distinct profiles of Mtb‐specific CD8+ T‐cell responses, and these results provide new insights in the interaction between Mtb and the host immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlates of tuberculosis risk: predictive biomarkers for progression to active tuberculosis.

TL;DR: Future studies are needed to determine whether correlates of risk can be used to prevent active TB through targeted prophylactic treatment, or to allow targeted enrolment into efficacy trials of new TB vaccines and therapeutic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuberculosis Biomarkers: From Diagnosis to Protection

TL;DR: Efforts are needed to reduce the gap between the exploratory up-stream identification of candidate biomarkers, and the validation of biomarkers against clear clinical endpoints in different populations, which will need a major commitment from both scientists and funding bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

IFNγ/TNFα specific-cells and effector memory phenotype associate with active tuberculosis

TL;DR: Qualitative associations between Mtb-specific T-cell and TB status in terms of functional capacity and memory status are identified and may be helpful to trace natural history of TB.
