Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • The centenary of Koch's discovery of the tubercle bacillus highlights the importance of cellular immune reactivity.
  • Understanding the immunogenetic basis of immune responses to mycobacteria is crucial for disease control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the contribution of immunogenetics to understanding cellular immune responses to mycobacteria.
  • To illustrate these concepts using Mycobacterium leprae and leprosy as a model.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on immunogenetics and cellular immunity.
  • Application of immunogenetic principles to mycobacterial infections.

Main Results:

  • Significant progress has been made in understanding the cellular and molecular basis of immunological phenomena related to mycobacteria.
  • Immunogenetics provides a framework for interpreting immune responses.

Conclusions:

  • Recent advances in cellular and molecular immunology and immunogenetics offer a basis for optimism.
  • This knowledge has direct implications for the rational development of subunit vaccines and immunotherapeutic strategies against mycobacterial diseases.
