Innate Immune Defenses in Human Tuberculosis: An Overview of the Interactions between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Innate Immune Cells by Jonathan Kevin Sia, Maria Georgieva, Jyothi Rengarajan

“…Furthermore, this review will emphasize important innate immune pathways uncovered through human immunogenetic studies. Insights into the human innate immune response to Mtb infection are necessary for providing a rational basis for the augmentation of immune responses against Mtb infection, especially with respect to the generation of effective anti-TB immunotherapeutics and vaccines.…”

Innate Immune Recognition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Johanneke Kleinnijenhuis, Marije Oosting, Leo A. B. Joosten, Mihai G. Netea, Reinout Van Crevel

“…More insight into PRRs and the recognition of mycobacteria, combined with immunogenetic studies in TB patients, does not only lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of tuberculosis but also may contribute to the design of novel immunotherapeutic strategies.…”

Single-cell immunopathology of recurrent acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis associated with vancomycin by Eric M. Mukherjee, MD, PhD, Andrew Gibson, PhD, Matthew S. Krantz, MD, Rama Gangula, MS, Amy M. Palubinsky, PhD, Alan S. Boyd, MD, Jeffrey P. Zwerner, MD, PhD, Anna K. Dewan, MD, MS, Nontaya Nakkam, PhD, Katherine C. Konvinse, MD, PhD, Yueran Li, PhD, Ramesh Ram, PhD, Abha Chopra, PhD, Elizabeth J. Phillips, MD

“…Methods: A clinical timeline over an 8-year period was paired with skin testing, histopathology, and immunogenetic and other testing at 3 time points. Skin biopsies performed on affected skin (positive vancomycin-delayed intradermal testing [IDT]) and unaffected control skin 8 years after the initial event were subjected to single-cell sequencing to measure gene and protein expression. …”
