Show abstract
T cells producing interferon gamma (IFN{gamma}) have long been considered a stalwart for immune protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), but their relative importance to pulmonary immunity has been challenged by murine studies which achieved protection by adoptively transferred Mtb-specific IFN{gamma}-/-T cells. Using IFN{gamma}-/- T cell chimeric mice and adoptive transfer of IFN{gamma}-/-T cells into TCR{beta}-/-{delta}-/-mice, we demonstrate that control of lung Mtb burden is in fact dependent on T cell-derived IFN{gamma}, and furthermore, mice selectively deficient in T cell-derived IFN{gamma} develop exacerbated disease compared to T cell-deficient controls despite equivalent lung bacterial burdens. Deficiency in T cell-derived IFN{gamma} skews infected and bystander monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) to an alternative M2 phenotype, and promotes neutrophil and eosinophil influx. Our studies support an important role for T cell-derived IFN{gamma} in pulmonary immunity against TB.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
