THE PD-1/B7-H1-MEDIATED PRO-APOPTOTIC ACTIVITY OF DENDRITIC CELLS AS A POSSIBLE MECHANISM OF ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC RESPONSE FAILURE IN PATIENTS WITH PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

Abstract. The aim of present study was to investigate PD-1/B7-H1-mediated induction of T-cell apoptosis/ anergy, a suggested mechanism of reduced antigen-specific immune response against M. tuberculosis. We examined 76 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) who differed in levels of proliferative...
