Scientists peer inside lungs to unlock TB immune secrets
NCT ID NCT05027958
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how immune cells in the lungs respond to tuberculosis (TB) proteins in 17 adults—some with latent TB (no symptoms) and some never exposed. Researchers used a thin tube to deliver the protein directly into the lung and collected cells to measure immune reactions. The goal was to better understand lung-specific immunity, not to treat or cure TB.
