Despite high levels of IFN-γ at the site of disease, the Th1 cytokine associated with protection, many individuals still have progressive active TB. Whether a Th2-like immune response (IL-4; IL-4δ2; IL-9) can subvert protective host immunity requires clarification. 2016-02-05T07:23:42Z 2016-02-05T07:23:42Z 2015 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16784 eng application/pdf Department of Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
