T-Cell Responses to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Specific Antigen ESAT-6 in Brazilian Tuberculosis Patients

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific ESAT-6 antigen induces highly potent T-cell responses and production of gamma interferon (IFN-γ), which play a critical role in protective cell-mediated immunity against tuberculosis (TB). In the present study, IFN-γ secretion by peripheral blood mononuclear c...
