BACKGROUND: The immunologic correlates of risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection after BCG vaccination are unknown. The mechanism by which BCG influences the tuberculin skin test (TST) remains poorly understood. We evaluated CD4+ T-cell responses in infants exposed to HIV and uninfected (HEU) who received BCG at birth and examined their role in susceptibility to Mtb infection and influence on TST induration.
METHODS: HEU infants were enrolled in a randomised clinical trial of isoniazid (INH) to prevent Mtb infection in Kenya. We measured mycobacterial antigen-specific Th1 and Th17 cytokine responses at 6-10 weeks of age prior to INH randomisation and compared responses between Mtb infected and uninfected infants. Outcomes at 14 months of age included TST, QuantiFERON-Plus (QFT-Plus), and ESAT-6/CFP-10-specific non-IFN-γ cytokines measured in QFT-Plus supernatants.
FINDINGS: A monofunctional mycobacterial antigen-specific TNF+ CD4+ effector memory (CCR7-CD45RA-) T-cell response at 6-10 weeks of age was associated with Mtb infection at 14 months of age as measured by ESAT-6/CFP-10-specific IFN-γ and non-IFN-γ responses (Odds Ratio 2.26; Confidence Interval 1.27-4.15; P = 0.006). Mycobacterial antigen-specific polyfunctional effector memory Th1 responses at 6-10 weeks positively correlated with TST induration in infants without evidence of Mtb infection at 14 months, an association which was diminished by INH therapy.
INTERPRETATION: Induction of monofunctional TNF+ CD4+ effector memory T-cell responses may be detrimental in TB vaccine development. This study also provides mechanistic insight into the association of BCG-induced immune responses with TST induration and further evidence that TST-based diagnoses of Mtb infection in infants are imprecise.
