Bacterial Protein Secretion Is Required for Priming of CD8+T Cells Specific for theMycobacterium tuberculosisAntigen CFP10
1 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection elicits antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells that are required to control disease. It is unknown how the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) pathway samples mycobacterial antigens. CFP10 and ESAT6 are important virulence factors secreted by M. tuberculosis, and they are immunodominant targets of the human and murine T-cell response. Here, we test the hypothesis that...
