TNF-[alpha] in host immunity to tuberculosis : in vivo and in vitro studies of protection and pathogenesis

Tuberculosis has been widespread from earliest history as demonstrated by skeletal deformities suggestive of spinal tuberculosis (Potts Disease) seen in Neolithic man (5000 BC) [Sager P, Schalimtzek M and Moller-Christensen V, 1972]. The earliest written reports similar of tuberculosis probably come from Chinese writings of about 2700 BC, which mention "lung fever" and "lung cough".
