Interferon-γ-response to mycobacterial glycopeptidolipids in patients with pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection
The understanding of host responses to pulmonary infection with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is incomplete and immunodiagnostic tools are not established. Unlike mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, several NTM e...
