BACKGROUND: New vaccines against tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed because the only available vaccine, Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), fails to protect against pulmonary TB in adults. The recombinant ΔureC hly+ BCG (rBCG) is more efficient than parental BCG (pBCG) against pulmonary TB in preclinical studies and has proven safe and immunogenic in phase I clinical trials.
METHODS: In an attempt to identify the mechanisms underlying the superior protection of rBCG, we compared the immune responses elicited after vaccination and subsequent aerosol infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in mice.
RESULTS: We demonstrate that both rBCG and pBCG induce marked type 1 cytokine responses, whereas only rBCG elicits a profound type 17 cytokine response in addition. We observed earlier recruitment of antigen-specific T lymphocytes to the lung upon MTB infection of rBCG-vaccinated mice. These T cells produced abundant type 1 cytokines after restimulation, resulting in 10-fold reduced bacterial burden 90 days after infection.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings identify a general immunologic pathway for improved vaccination strategies against TB that can also be harnessed by other vaccine candidates.
