Differential organization of the local immune response in patients with active cavitary tuberculosis or with nonprogressive tuberculomaTimo Ulrichs
Department of Immunology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Institute for Infection Medicine, Charite University Medicine, Campus Benjamin Franklin, Berlin, Germany
J Infect Dis 192:89-97. 2005..Failure of this containment leads to reactivation of postprimary tuberculosis (TB). The regional immune processes that sustain the delicate balance with persistent M. tuberculosis, however, remain unclear...

New insights into the function of granulomas in human tuberculosisTimo Ulrichs
Department of Immunology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany
J Pathol 208:261-9. 2006..These findings lead to a revised view of the regional immune response in human tuberculosis. Novel insights into this dynamic cross-talk form the basis of novel intervention strategies...
Human tuberculous granulomas induce peripheral lymphoid follicle-like structures to orchestrate local host defence in the lungTimo Ulrichs
Department of Immunology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany
J Pathol 204:217-28. 2004..It is concluded that the follicular structures in the peripheral rim of granulomas serve as a morphological substrate for the orchestration of the enduring host response in pulmonary tuberculosis...
[Immunology of tuberculosis: impact on the development of novel vaccines]T Ulrichs
Max Planck Institut für Infektionsbiologie, Berlin
Internist (Berl) 44:1374-84. 2003..A new vaccine should elicit a better immune response than the natural infection and reliably protect from TB disease, regardless if given prior or post infection with M. tuberculosis...
Increased numbers of ESAT-6- and purified protein derivative-specific gamma interferon-producing cells in subclinical and active tuberculosis infectionT Ulrichs
Department of Immunology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Infect Immun 68:6073-6. 2000..Thus, ESAT-6 is a potential candidate for use in detection of early, as well as active, tuberculosis and for control of the disease...
Numbers of IFN-gamma-producing cells against ESAT-6 increase in tuberculosis patients during chemotherapyT Ulrichs
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Department of Immunology, Berlin, Germany
Int J Tuberc Lung Dis 4:1181-3. 2000..These results indicate that monitoring specific M. tuberculosis antigen reactivity during anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy may avoid premature termination of treatment and resistant strains...
Cell-wall alterations as an attribute of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in latent infectionPeter Seiler
, Berlin, Germany
J Infect Dis 188:1326-31. 2003..bovis Bacille-Calmette-Guérin serum continued with persistence of infection. These findings have important implications for diagnosis, as well as for both chemotherapy and development of vaccine strategies.'..
Loss of receptor on tuberculin-reactive T-cells marks active pulmonary tuberculosisMathias Streitz

Modified immunohistological staining allows detection of Ziehl-Neelsen-negative Mycobacterium tuberculosis organisms and their precise localization in human tissueTimo Ulrichs
Department of Immunology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany
J Pathol 205:633-40. 2005..The positive pAbBCG staining results were confirmed either by PCR analysis of microdissected stained tissue or by culture from tissue. This immunostaining approach allows precise localization of the pathogen in infected tissue...
