Moreover, we have observed that BCGΔBCG1419c promote a differential presence in lungs of IFNγ-producing T cells, and activated macrophages in a BALB/c model of active and chronic TB13 while it changed the relative presence in lungs of B, CD8+, and dendritic cells, in a BALB/c model of TB-type 2 diabetes17. Here, CD8A is linked to tuberculosis.
