Reactogenicity to major tuberculosis antigens absent in BCG is linked to improved protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Volume: 8, Issue: 1
Published: Jul 14, 2017
Abstract
MTBVAC is a live-attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis vaccine, currently under clinical development, that contains the major antigens ESAT6 and CFP10. These antigens are absent from the current tuberculosis vaccine, BCG. Here we compare the protection induced by BCG and MTBVAC in several mouse strains that naturally express different MHC haplotypes differentially recognizing ESAT6 and CFP10. MTBVAC induces improved protection in C3H mice, the...
