Mechanisms of cell recruitment in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Recent advances in understanding cell traffic, especially the roles of adhesion proteins, chemokines, and chemokine receptors, provide the opportunity for understanding mechanisms involved in the immune response to tuberculosis. This review concentrates on the roles of these molecules and the immune response in tuberculosis, based on studies of humans and mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
