IL-6 produced by macrophages infected with Mycobacterium species suppresses T cell responses
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
The ability of Mycobacterium bovis Calmette-Guérin bacillus-infected bone marrow-derived macrophages to process and present exogenously added Ags to T cells and stimulate their growth and production of IL-2 was examined.
