Understanding delayed T-cell priming, lung recruitment, and airway luminal T-cell responses in host defense against pulmonary tuberculosis.

This delay is highly significant when compared to lung infection by other intracellular pathogens such as influenza or Legionella pneumophila, where adaptive responses are seen as early as 2-3 days in the MLN [ 52 , 53 ] and in the lung 6-7 days postinfection [ 18 , 54 , 55 ].
