IL-32 and its splice variants are associated with protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and skewing of Th1/Th17 cytokines
4 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Studies in IL-32 transgenic mice and in vitro suggest that IL-32 may have protective effects against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but so far there are barely any studies in humans. We studied the role of IL-32 and its splice variants in tuberculosis (TB) in vivo and in vitro. Blood transcriptional analysis showed lower total IL-32 mRNA levels in pulmonary TB patients compared to patients with latent TB infection...
