Tuberculosis(TB)is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)infection and poses a serious threat to human health.Natural killer(NK)cells,an important component of innate immunity,can differentiate into various subpopulations in response to MTB infection,showing a diversity of receptors and functions.They engage in crosstalk with other immune cells by secreting cytokines,thereby exerting anti-infective actions against MTB infection and enhancing the body's immune response to the infection.
