The role of the cytolytic mediators, granulysin and perforin, in tuberculosis
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 150-175). === Includes abstract. === Protective immunity against mycobacterial infection requires an effective cytolytic response, in addition to an intact Type l (Th1) cytokine pathway. Natural killer (NK) cells and cytolytic T-cells (CTL) are essential c...
