Exploring immune mechanisms among persons with MTB infection or TB disease, compared to no MTB infection in an endemic setting
REFNo: HS2125ES

General objective:
•To understand the immune mechanisms that underlie TB infection and TB disease compared to those with neither state in an MTB endemic setting using samples collected from individuals with either latent or active TB infection and those without-MTB infection for comparison.
Specific objectives:
• To define the immunological mechanism(s) in MTB using samples from individuals with latent infection, active TB or no MTB infection.
•To identify correlates of immune protection against TB infection and disease in adults in high TB endemic settings; an important pre-requisite in responses to newer TB vaccines
•To compare genetic sequences between adults with active TB, latent TB and no MTB infection in order to delineate genetic mechanisms of protection or disease
