Little is known about the potential role of NKT cells in human infectious diseases. The goal of the present study was determination of frequency of Vα24Vβ11 and CD3CD56 NKT cells in tuberculosis patients. Methods: According to our c...

In the absence of a gold standard test for LTBI, conventional screening currently involves taking a clinical histor...
