Abstract excerpt
By applying the current immunological and molecular genetic studies, the authors revealed a genetically determined imbalance in the pro- duction of immunoregulatory cytokines by monoluclear leukocytes in pulmonary tuberculosis. T allele and TT genotype of IFNG gene poly- morphism +874A/T were found to be an immunogenetic factor that had a protective effect against susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis....
