Helminth species specific expansion and increased TNF-alpha production of non-classical monocytes during active tuberculosis.
Both Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and helminths may affect innate immune mechanisms such as differential effects on monocytes towards the non-classical and intermediate subsets that favor bacterial persistence. Our aim, was to investigate helminth species specific effects on the frequency an...
