Multifunctional T cell response in active pulmonary tuberculosis patients

CONCLUSIONS: Decreased T lymphocytes in APTB patients may cause compensatory activation of CD8+ T cells. Multifunctional CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood could migrate to the lungs under the action of CXCR3 and associated chemokine. Multifunctional CD4+ T cells and Multifunctional CD8+ T cells were of great significance in monitoring disease treatment.PMID:34333359 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2021.107898
