Reactivation of M. tuberculosis Infection in Trans-Membrane Tumour Necrosis Factor Mice
Of those individuals who are infected with M. tuberculosis, 90% do not develop active disease and represents a large reservoir of M. tuberculosis with the potential for reactivation of infection. Sustained TNF expression is required for containment of persistent infection and TNF neutralization leads to tuberculosis reactivation. In this study, we investigated the contribution of soluble TNF (s...
متن کاملProtective role of membrane tumour necrosis factor in the host’s resistance to mycobacterial infection
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) plays a critical role in the recruitment and activation of mononuclear cells in mycobacterial infection. The role of membrane TNF, in host resistance against Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), was tested in knock-in mice in which the endogenous TNF was replaced by a non-cleavable and regulated allele (Delta1-12, TNF(tm/tm)). While 100% of...
متن کاملProminent role for T cell-derived Tumour Necrosis Factor for sustained control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) is critical for host control of M. tuberculosis, but the relative contribution of TNF from innate and adaptive immune responses during tuberculosis infection is unclear. Myeloid versus T-cell-derived TNF function in tuberculosis was investigated using cell type-specific TNF deletion. Mice deficient for TNF expression in macrophages/neutrophils displayed early, trans...
متن کاملHow tumour necrosis factor blockers interfere with tuberculosis immunity.
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a potent inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in immunity to numerous bacterial infections, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) in humans. Infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol and etanercept are anti-TNF agents used to treat a range of inflammatory/autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthrit...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor antagonists: structure, function, and tuberculosis risks.
Our understanding of the infection risks presented by tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists has continued to evolve in the 10 years since these drugs were first introduced. Several recent studies have confirmed the increased risk of tuberculosis posed by TNF antibodies compared with soluble TNF receptor, particularly with regard to reactivation of latent infection. Structural and functional ...
