Compromised Metabolic Reprogramming Is an Early Indicator of CD8+ T Cell Dysfunction during Chronic Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Summary: The immunometabolic mechanisms underlying suboptimal T cell immunity in tuberculosis remain undefined. Here, we examine how chronic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and M. bovis BCG infections rewire metabolic circuits and alter effector functions in lung CD8+ T cells. As Mtb infection prog...
