Unconventional, glycolipid-responsive T cells contributed to reduced mycobacterial growth because antibodies to CD1b inhibited this effect by 55%. Lipoarabinomannan was the most potent mycobacterial lipid antigen (activation of 1.3% T lymphocytes) and activated CD1b-restricted T cells that limited bacterial growth. A subset of IFN-\u03b3\u2013producing lipoarabinomannan-responsive T cells coexpressed the cytotoxic molecules perforin, granulysin, and granzyme B, which we termed polycytotoxic T cells. Taking advantage of two well-defined cohorts of subjects latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis or patients who developed active disease after infection, we found a correlation between the frequency of polycytotoxic T cells and the ability to control infection (latent tuberculosis infection, 62%; posttuberculosis patients, 26%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our data define an unconventional CD8+ T-cell subset (polycytotoxic T cells) that is based on antigen recognition and function.
