Response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens is enhanced by monoclonal antibodies
Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper.
1991 May.
Abstract
T lymphocytes purified from peripheral blood of tuberculosis patients and from healthy skin test PPD-positive subjects show a remarkably increased proliferative response in culture to purified protein derivative (PPD) when three anti-mycobacterial monoclonal antibodies are added together with the antigen. This indicates an important role played by antibodies in the T cell response to the tuberculous infection.
