Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection,remains a major global concern.The activation of anti-TB immune responses is mediated by several complicated mechanisms, among which the local immune microenvironment at the disease site plays a crucial role.In this review, we discuss the roles of anti-TB immunity, Mtb immune escape and the elements at the local site of infection.
