title: Adaptive immunity to mycobacteria.
abstract: Advances are now being made in terms of understanding both the initiation of the adaptive or acquired response to tuberculosis infection and its interface with elements of the innate response, as well as much later events in terms of the chronic disease state where reactivation can potentially occur. Despite this, there are still several elements of the adaptive response that remain poorly understood.
