Exploiting the mycobacterial cell wall to design improved vaccines against tuberculosis.
The only vaccine available against tuberculosis (TB), the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), does not provide effective protection against the most common forms of adult TB and in recent years efforts have been made to develop a new and improved vaccine. Among the strategies implemented, the generation of a new live attenuated mycobacterial strain is seen as one of the most promising and feasible,...
متن کاملOral vaccination with subunit vaccines protects animals against aerosol infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis depends largely on activation of cell-mediated responses, and gamma interferon has been shown to play a crucial role in this process in both humans and animal models. Since the lung is normally the organ in which infection is initiated and is the major site of pathology, immune responses in the lung play a significant role in restricting initial infec...
متن کاملVaccination against chlamydial and mycobacterial infections
We studied the role of isocitrate lyase in the interaction between Mycobacterium bovis BCG and mice. ApoB100-only LDLR (B6;129S-ApoBLdlr/ J) mice were inoculated with M. bovis BCG harbouring plasmids carrying the gene for isocitrate lyase. The presence of *29 times more copies of this gene resulted in a higher bacterial yield in the spleens and lungs of the infected mice. The spleen was 3–4 tim...
متن کاملDevelopment of a murine mycobacterial growth inhibition assay for evaluating vaccines against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The development and characterization of new tuberculosis (TB) vaccines has been impeded by the lack of reproducible and reliable in vitro assays for measuring vaccine activity. In this study, we developed a murine in vitro mycobacterial growth inhibition assay for evaluating TB vaccines that directly assesses the capacity of immune splenocytes to control the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
متن کاملNovel vaccination strategies against tuberculosis.
The tuberculosis (TB) pandemic continues to rampage despite widespread use of the BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine. Novel vaccination strategies are urgently needed to arrest global transmission and prevent the uncontrolled development of multidrug-resistant forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Over the last two decades, considerable progress has been made in the field of vaccine developm...
