Absence of a prominent Th2 cytokine response in human tuberculosis.

abstract：:Ultrastructural immunoperoxidase studies were done in spinal cords of mice infected with wild type vesicular stomatitis virus or its temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant G31. Infected neurons showed subplasmalemmal staining of viral antigen and staining of viral particles budding from the neuronal membrane in wild-type v...
