“…In the present study, we detected a small but significant number of IL-17A-producing CD4 + T cells in response to HBHA in TB cases. This is compatible with a previous finding that HBHA-specific memory CD4 + T cells are present in vivo (33). To clarify the role of this IL-17 immune response in the course of M. tuberculosis infection, it is worth investigating the IL-17 response to HBHA in a cohort of early M. tuberculosis exposure population.…”

“…As has been reported in mice, IL‐17 + γ‐δ T cells have also been found to be increased in human TB patients . Notably, the M. tuberculosis antigen HBHA can also activate Th17 cells; HBHA stimulation ex vivo induced activation of a greater frequency of CD4 + T cells co‐expressing IFN‐γ, IL‐2, and IL‐17 in household contacts as compared to active TB patients . In summary, Th17 and other IL‐17‐producing cells appear to contribute to M. tuberculosis control, most likely at an early stage of infection, and differences in pathogenic M. tuberculosis strains may play a role in differential Th17 responses observed in humans.…”

“…Important for this antigen is the role of measuring cytokines other than IFN-γ, as two other studies measuring IFN-γ only did not find significant differences in patients with TB disease, TB infection and controls (28,31). A further study including a subgroup of four HIV-infected individuals also did not find noteworthy responses of IFN-γ induced by Rv2031c and two cytokines that were not measured in our study (IL-2, IL-17) (32).…”
