Specific Recognition of Mycobacterial Protein and Peptide Antigens by γδ T Cell Subsets following Infection with Virulent Mycobacterium bovis
15 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Promoting effective immunity to Mycobacterium bovis infection is a challenge that is of interest to the fields of human and animal medicine alike. We report that γδ T cells from virulent M. bovis-infected cattle respond specifically and directly to complex, protein, and nonprotein mycobacterial Ags. Importantly, to our knowledge, we demonstrate for the first time that bovine γδ T cells specifically recognize...
