Abstract

ABSTRACT: We highlight the need to include an analysis of the B-1 B cell subset to complement the characterization of the cell-mediated immune response to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing lineage. The literature describes the B-1 cell repertoire's involvement in the cell-mediated response within granulomas, which is different from the classic antibody response B cells are generally associated with. Specifically, the B-1 B cell subset migrates from other compartments along with other cells to the infection site. We provide details to complement the reported results from Cerezo-Cortes et al .
