Abstract: Cell types that mediate early control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection are not well understood. Winchell and Nyquist et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20230707) show that CD8αα+ lymphocytes have a major role in the innate suppression of Mtb growth in the lungs of macaques.<br /> (© 2023 Barber.)
