Paul Ogongo Interview for Center for Tuberculosis

Paul Ogongo, shared, when asked did anything surprise you while conducting your research, that we have taken a unique approach of monitoring T-cell responses to individual distinct Mtb antigens as opposed to Mtb antigen pools. What we have found exciting, yet unexpected, is our observation that a set of less studied antigens elicit a robust interleukin-17 (IL-17) responses while the more commonly studied antigens do not.
