“…Data from human and animal models (including NHPs) suggest an important role for diverse lymphocyte populations in controlling Mtb infection. In addition to compelling evidence for the importance of conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells (Chen et al, 2009;Foreman et al, 2016;Lin and Flynn, 2015;Lin et al, 2012;Mogues et al, 2001), other lymphocyte populations have been implicated in control including gamma delta (γδ) T cells (Ogongo et al, 2020;Shen et al, 2019), iNKT cells (Arora et al, 2013;Chackerian et al, 2002;Chancellor et al, 2017), donor-unrestricted T cells such as MAITs (Joosten et al, 2019), innate lymphoid cells (ILC) (Ardain et al, 2019) and cytotoxic lymphocytes including NK cells (Lin and Flynn, 2015;Portevin et al, 2012;Roy Chowdhury et al, 2018).…”
