Distinct Phases of Blood Gene Expression Pattern Through Tuberculosis Treatment Reflect Modulation of the Humoral Immune Response
7 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of treatment efficacy would facilitate clinical trials of new antituberculosis drugs. We hypothesized that early alterations in peripheral immunity could be measured by gene expression profiling in tuberculosis patients undergoing successful conventional combination treatment. METHODS: Ex vivo blood samples from 27 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were assayed at diagnosis and...
