説明
<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p> According to the World Health Organization, one in three humans is latently infected with <jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</jats:italic> and 10% of these individuals risk developing active, clinical tuberculosis (TB) over their lifetimes. Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus increases this risk substantially, with depletion of CD4 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells believed to drive disease progression. Although a minority of coinfected individuals can control the infection, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unknown. Modeling coinfection using macaques, we discovered that one-third of the animals maintained latency despite complete ablation of lung CD4 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells. We report that protective immune responses mediated by CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells and B cells correlate with TB control. These findings have important implications in development of both prophylactic and therapeutic measures against TB and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. </jats:p>
