In the current issue of , Casanova and colleagues demonstrate that humans (and mouse models) with autosomal-recessive SPPL2a deficiency have a severe defect in conventional dendritic cell 2 survival and production of IL-12 and IL-23, and diminished IFN-γ secretion by mycobacterium-specific memory T cells, thus resulting in increased susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases.
在本期的 中,Casanova 及其同事证明,常染色体隐性 SPPL2a 缺陷的人类(和小鼠模型)存在常规树突状细胞 2 存活和 IL-12 和 IL-23 产生的严重缺陷,以及分枝杆菌特异性记忆 T 细胞 IFN-γ 分泌减少,从而导致对分枝杆菌病的易感性增加。
