5/30/2023 0 Comments A Latent Dark by Martin KeeContradicting results regarding the frequency of MAIT cells in latent Mtb infection have been reported. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are innate T cells that can recognize Mtb-infected cells. HIV-1 infection is associated with an increased incidence of active tuberculosis, even in virally suppressed individuals. Despite intensive research efforts, it is not well understood why some individuals control Mtb infection and some others develop active disease. Increasing drug resistance and the lack of an effective vaccine are the main factors contributing to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) being a major cause of death globally. 4Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Instituto Israelita de Ensino e Pesquisa, São Paulo, Brazil.3Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, United States.2School of Medicine, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.1Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Tropical Medicine, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, United States.
