Innate immunity against TB is very crucial in the control of early Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection especially by pulmonary immune responses, which is mainly carried out by alveolar innate immune cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, monocytes, and neutrophils
Recognized only in the past decade, ILCs have been currently classified into group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s), natural killer (NK) cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), ILC3s, lymphoid-tissue-inducer (LTi) cells, and regulatory innate lymphoid cells (ILCregs) on the basis of their development, phenotype, and function [11,12,13]
