Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M.tb ), remains a significant health concern worldwide, especially in populations with weakened or compromised immune systems, such as the elderly. Proper adaptive immune function, particularly a CD4 + T cell response, is central to host immunity against M.tb . Chronic infections, such as M.tb , as well as aging promote T cell exhaustion...
