T cells target TB

Cell Host Microbe. 2023 Mar 8;31(3):329-330. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2023.02.003.

Abstract

Recently in Nature Medicine, Musvosvi et al. analyzed single-cell T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing by grouping of lymphocyte interactions by paratope hotspots (GLIPH2) in a South African longitudinal cohort at high risk for tuberculosis. They find peptide antigen-specific T cells correlating with control of primary infection, potentially informing future vaccines.
