Type I IFN signaling triggers immunopathology in tuberculosis‐susceptible mice by modulating lung phagocyte dynamics
29 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
General interest in the biological functions of IFN type I in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection increased after the recent identification of a distinct IFN gene expression signature in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Here, we demonstrate that TB-susceptible mice lacking the receptor for IFN I (IFNAR1) were protected from death upon aerogenic infection with Mtb. Using this experimental model to mimic primary...
