This study suggests that IL-6 antago...

🚨 Delighted to share our paper defining a new role for IL-6 in TB. 🚨

We used genetic variation to show *reduced* IL-6 signalling is causally associated with *lower* risk of TB.

As a way of an introduction, this video provides a reasonable description of some of our recent research. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCW3...

CD8 T cell tolerance results from eviction of immature autoreactive cells from the thymus Thymic eviction explains CD8 T cell tolerance and why autoreactive CD8 T cells appear in the periphery but not the thymus.

Tolerance by eviction
"we report that, in mice, CD8 T cell tolerance instead results from premature thymic eviction of immature autoreactive CD8 thymocytes into the periphery, where they differentiate into self-tolerant mature CD8 T cells"
