Long noncoding RNA derived from CD244 signaling epigenetically controls CD8 ⁺ T-cell immune responses in tuberculosis infection

Abstract excerpt

Molecular mechanisms for T-cell immune responses modulated by T cell-inhibitory molecules during tuberculosis (TB) infection remain unclear. Here, we show that active human TB infection up-regulates CD244 and CD244 signaling-associated molecules in CD8(+) T cells and that blockade of CD244 signaling enhances production of IFN-γ and TNF-α. CD244 expression/signaling in TB correlates with high levels of a long...
