“…This process is well documented for myeloid cells . B‐cells are infected by M. tuberculosis through a process of micropinocytosis and express death receptors. The manner in which a general loss of T‐cells occur during tuberculosis is not well defined .…”

“…CD8 + T cells have an essential but underappreciated role in the control of TB (12) and are critical for both natural and vaccine-induced immunity in nonhuman primates (NHPs) (13,14). In contrast, the role of B cells in immunity to TB is less well understood, although it appears they are required for the development of optimal immune responses to Mtb via various regulatory mechanisms (15)(16)(17).…”

“…Phagocytosis is generally believed to be carried out by specialized APCs [10], but not by naïve B cells [11,12]. Notwithstanding, it has been described that a specific subpopulation of B cells, B1 B cells, is also able to phagocytose particles including bacteria [13][14][15][16].…”
