1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
Advanced stages of mycobacterial diseases such as leprosy and tuberculosis are characterized by a loss of T-cell function. The basis of this T-cell dysfunction is not well understood. The present report demonstrates major alterations in the expression of signal transduction molecules in T cells of leprosy patients.
