Immunological characteristics of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease

This study aims to comprehensively investigate the immunological responses associated with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). We evaluated immune-related gene expression profiles using nCounter assays on peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples from 18 patients diagnosed with NTM-PD, comparing them with samples from 6 healthy controls. nCounter assays on PBMCs from 18 NTM-PDs and 6 HCs
