Recent Findings show that early T cells at the site of PPD antigen challenge are not Mtb-specific. Evolution of T cell responses in the tuberculin skin test reveals generalisable Mtb-reactive T cell metaclones

Positive and uplifting progress. Congratulations @Thumbi_Ndungu and entire study team and participants.
Researchers at UKZN say an HIV cure could be on the horizon. After a two-year field test, a third of the participants managed to suppress the virus without medication for nearly a year. Professor Thumbi Ndung’u from UKZN explains. #DStv403 #eNCA

Significant progress in TB control efforts over recent years. The future of these achievements shouldn’t be in the balance because of uncertainty in funding modalities.

The optimism of controlling TB is dampened by uncertainty of NIH funding. TB research has come from so far, with sparse but significant successes. It is sad to see all that likely go to the drain and plenty of careers ruined. #KeystoneTBsymposium

Check out new story with collaborators at TGEN. CRESTA, a new approach to identifying Mtb antigen specific T cells with high order of magnitude. Happy to have played a role.
Integrated, high-dimensional analysis of CD4 T cell epitope specificities and phenotypes reveals unexpected diversity in the response . #biorxiv_immuno.

Thanks @TheBrysonLab for the tweetorial as always and the cool science!.
Many of the peptides we identified are immunogenic per IEDB. We teamed up with @JaTCells to examine T cell responses to novel epitopes in a small cohort of individuals with prior Mtb exposure and found that some of these novel epitopes identified by MS are also immunogenic.

Happy to have made a contribution to this excellent work by @OwenKLeddy and @TheBrysonLab. A super and cool approach to identifying TB vaccine candidates.
Excited to share our latest on Mtb and antigen presentation (. Keep reading if you’re interested in host-pathogen interactions, vaccines, and human immunology! Led by @OwenKLeddy (on the postdoc market!).
