• In Situ Expression of Cytokines and Cellular Phenotypes in the Lungs of Mice with Slowly Progressive Primary Tuberculosis 

      Mustafa, Tehmina; Phyu, S.; Nilsen, Rune; Jonsson, Roland; Bjune, Gunnar Aksel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2000-06)
      The cellular phenotypes and the expression of cytokines were studied in the lungs of mice, using immunohistochemistry, during different phases of slowly progressive primary murine tuberculosis infection. During the first ...
    • A Mouse Model for Latent Tuberculosis 

      Phyu, S.; Mustafa, Tehmina; Hofstad, T.; Nilsen, Rune; Fosse, R.; Bjune, Gunnar Aksel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1998-06)
      The aim of the study was to establish a reproducible murine model for latent tuberculosis. We propose an operational definition of latent murine tuberculosis as a stable Mycobacterium tuberculosis count in lungs and spleens ...
    • A Mouse Model for Slowly Progressive Primary Tuberculosis 

      Mustafa, Tehmina; Phyu, S.; Nilsen, Rune; Jonsson, Roland; Bjune, Gunnar Aksel (Journal article, 1999-08)
      The progression from primary Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection to disease is usually slow in humans. The aim of this study was to develop and characterize a mouse model for slowly progressive primary tuberculosis, using ...
