Caption

Researchers compared what happens when they give a saline solution (left), generic antibody (middle) or IL-10 blocker (right) with the BCG vaccine to mice. Mice given the IL-10 blocker were able to control TB infection in the lungs far better than the others. The dark pink spots show areas with more bacteria.
