Actual (reported)Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a lung disease. It is caused by inhaling a type of airborne bacterium. Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) is used to test for TB exposure. It is usually injected under a person s skin. In this study, it will be applied in the lung. Objective: To learn how the cells within the lung react (immune response) when exposed to PPD. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-64 who (1) have been exposed to TB but do not have active disease or symptoms or (2) have never been exposed to TB. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will have a TB skin test. They will also have an electrocardiogram to examine heart rhythm. For this, sticky patches will be placed on their chest. Some screening tests will be repeated at study visits. Participants will have 3 FDG PET-CT scans. They will lie in a machine that creates pictures of the inside of their body. They will get a radioactive substance injected into their arm called 18FDG. It helps make the pictures. Participants will have 3 bronchoscopies. Their mouth and nasal airways will be numbed. They will get drugs to relax. A tube will be inserted through their nose or mouth into a lung. Fluid will be delivered into the lung and suctioned back out to collect cells. They will get PPD during the first bronchoscopy. Participation will last for about 30 days. Participants will visit the clinic up to 8 times. They will go home after each procedure. No hospital stays are needed....

Actual (reported)Median Difference in CD4 Cell Response to Intrabronchial Instillation of Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD)
Median difference in CD4 cell response to intrabronchial instillation of Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) using flow cytometry. The frequency of (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) Mtb-specific T cells was measured by intracellular cytokine staining for Interferon Gamma (IFNγ) and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) after in vitro restimulation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) and Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) cells with PPD or Mtb-derived peptide megapools.
Day 5 and Day 21
Median Difference in the Standard Uptake Value (SUV)
Baseline (Up to -7 days prior to PPD instillation), Day 4 and Day 20
Healthy volunteer participants with confirmed Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) (TST positive and IGRA positive) receiving instillation dose of purified protein derivative (PPD) 0.5 tuberculin units (10 uL Tubersol® in 10 mL normal saline) into the right upper lobe of lung.
Healthy volunteer participants with confirmed non-Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) (TST negative and IGRA negative) receiving instillation dose of purified protein derivative (PPD) 0.5 tuberculin units (10 uL Tubersol® in 10 mL normal saline) into the right upper lobe of lung.
PPD administered through the airways to elicit the development of alveolar inflammation challenge dose of 0.5 TU
