Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis, the most common clinical form of mycobacterial diseases, is a granulomatous disease of the lungs caused by Mycobaterium tuberculosis. A number of genes have been identified in studies of diverse origins to be important in tuberculosis. Of these, both tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and lymphotoxin alpha (LT-alpha) play important immunoregulatory roles. METHODS: To...
