Mycobacteria-Infected Dendritic Cells Attract Neutrophils That Produce IL-10 and Specifically Shut Down Th17 CD4 T Cells through Their IL-10 Receptor.”

“Abstract
Neutrophils participate in the control of mycobacterial infection both by directly eliminating bacilli and by interacting with macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Despite host defenses, slow-growing mycobacteria can persist in the host for decades, mostly inside macrophages and DCs, and eventually destroy tissues after exacerbated inflammation. IL-17A-driven neutrophil recruitment may participate in this process. We report that mouse bone marrow-derived DCs infected with live Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Gu
