Title:
IFNγ-Independent Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in Rhesus Macaques
Speaker:
Daniel Barber, PhD, Senior Investigator in the Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
Topic:
IFNγ is often considered the primary effector molecule responsible for T cell-mediated host-defense against M. tuberculosis infection. Here we examine the effects of IFNγ blockade on lung granuloma immune responses and bacterial control in infected rhesus macaques.
Host: Chyung-Ru Wang, Professor, Dept. of Microbiology-Immunology
