NFKB1 and tuberculosis: We studied CD3 induced intracellular calcium mobilization in PBMCs of healthy individuals and TB patients by spectrofluorimetry, CD3 and CD28 induced activation of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in PBMCs of healthy individuals and TB patients by western blotting and binding of transcription factors NFAT and NFκB by Electrophorectic mobility shift assay (EMSA).
