Proteomics study yields clues as to how tuberculosis might be thwarting the immune system

A link between the immune system and the self-cleaning system by which biological cells rid themselves of obsolete or toxic parts may one day yield new weapons in the fight against tuberculosis and other deadly infectious diseases. Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered proteins residing in both systems that point to "cross-talk" between them.
