Deskripsi

Viral coinfection alongside mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection may lead to immune complications or interference with immune responses. Here the authors show that in mice infected with Mtb and LCMV virus the specific TH1 response to MTb is reduced through a type I IFN response to the infecting virus.
