Wellcome Trust Center for Research in Clinical Tropical Medicine, Division of Medicine, Imperial College London, Wright Fleming Institute, UK
J Infect Dis 193:354-9. 2006..These results suggest that the integrity of the bacterial cell wall is important for M. tuberculosis in avoiding immune recognition by T cells and favor a dynamic model of LTBI...

Division of Mycobacterial Research, National Institute for Medical Research, London, UK
Immunology 127:539-48. 2009..1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) also induced secretion of IL-10 and PGE(2) from M. tuberculosis-infected PBMC. These findings represent a novel immunomodulatory role for 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) in M. tuberculosis infection...
The stress-responsive chaperone alpha-crystallin 2 is required for pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosisGraham R Stewart
Department of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology, Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Imperial College London, South Kensington, London SW7 2AZ, UK
Mol Microbiol 55:1127-37. 2005..These findings demonstrate that both alpha-crystallins contribute to persistent infection with M. tuberculosis and suggest that manipulation of acr expression can influence the host response to infection...
