DOI: 10.1016/j.jim.2018.04.004
Abstract: CD1 tetramers loaded with lipid antigens facilitate the identification of rare lipid-antigen specific T cells present in human blood and tissue. Because CD1 proteins are structurally non-polymorphic, these tetramers can be applied to genetically diverse… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07714-9
Abstract: Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) plays a crucial role in controlling growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), presumably via nitric oxide (NO) mediated killing. Here we show that leukocyte-specific deficiency of NO production, through targeted loss… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imcb.12493
Abstract: Macrophages display marked plasticity with functions in both inflammation and tissue repair. Evidence demonstrates that this spectrum of macrophage phenotypes is influenced by their local microenvironment and tissue origin. However, in vitro macrophage experiments often… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2023-255317
Abstract: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous organisms. Endobronchial growth as a presenting feature of NTM disease is uncommon. Here we present a case of a patient with retroviral disease on antiretroviral therapy, presenting with cough, wheezing… read more here.

Abstract: Disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial infection (DNTM) is typically observed in immunocompromised hosts. Recently, it has been reported that healthy individuals with serum neutralizing autoantibodies for interferon (IFN)-γ can also develop DNTM. We herein report a case… read more here.

Swim bladder as a primary site of mycobacterial infection in Nothobranchius 'belly sliders'.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Diseases of aquatic organisms"
DOI: 10.3354/dao03601
Abstract: The swim bladder inflates early after fish hatching via its interconnection with the digestive tract (ductus pneumaticus). This interconnection may serve as a portal to foreign particles, including bacteria, causing deficiencies in primary swim bladder… read more here.
