Oh wow, amazing: "Discovery and identification of a handwritten laboratory notebook by Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin describing experimental studies and development of the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis at the Institut Pasteur" doi.org/10.1016/j.tu...

Really important and relevant study in TB from @danbarberphd.bsky.social and colleagues. We need to re-think many assumptions. Nitric oxide production in mice has been a confounding factor. #tuberculosis
‼️ A really good meeting for people working on host-pathogen interactions! Great keynote speakers this year: Raphael Valdivia and Florence Niedergang. Please repost!
shocking statistics, but only limited public outcry.. We should be more vocal about this

This is cool - ‘Descent from a common ancestor restricts exploration of protein sequence space’ - www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... & a great commentary piece too- ‘Maynard Smith’s analogy, realized: Common ancestry constrains evolutionary percolation through protein space’ www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

So we blocked IFNγ in Mtb infected macaques and….the animals were fine. Turns out mice overestimate the importance of IFNγ in TB because IFNγ drives iNOS in mice but not macaques or humans. This means we don’t actually know how T cells suppress Mtb. rdcu.be/ff9GB #tuberculosis #immunology
Nature Communications - Here, the authors show that IFNγ blockade does not impair resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macaques, opposed to what has been observed in mice, due...
