The HIV virus increases the potency of the tuberculosis bacterium (Mtb) by affecting a central function of the immune system. This is the conclusion of a study carried out by researchers at LiU.

Our research focuses on the beneficial role of innate immune cells and their cooperation for the control of Mtb during simultaneous co-infection.

Researchers at Linköping University have made a discovery that could contribute to developing new vaccines and treatment alternatives for tuberculosis in the future.
