Abstract
Lymphocytes affine for tuberculosis foci were prepared from sterile pulmonary resectates. It was demonstrated that these lymphocytes differ from lymphocytes isolated from normal lung tissue. The possibility of using cytotoxic cells (CD8+CD16+) and antigen-presenting cells (CD4+) for prevention and treatment of recurrent tuberculosis is discussed.
