Changes in immune status of circulating NK cells in patients with latent tuberculosis infection
Circulating CD56bright NK cells exerted a significant role in maintaining immune balance in LTBI patients. An elevated frequency of granzyme B+ CD56bright NK cells and a reduced frequency of perforin+ CD56bright NK cells were effective in differentiating LTBI patients from HCs.
