Activation Phenotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Specific CD4+ T Cells Promoting the Discrimination Between Active Tuberculosis and Latent Tuberculosis Infection

Activation Phenotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Specific CD4+ T Cells Promoting the Discrimination Between Active Tuberculosis and Latent Tuberculosis Infection

BackgroundRapid and effective discrimination between active tuberculosis (ATB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) remains a challenge. There is an urgent need for developing practical and affordable approaches targeting this issue.MethodsParticipants with ATB and LTBI were recruited at Tongji...
