Renewing the Fight Against TB with an Old Vaccine

Cell
Thomas J Scriba, Valerie Mizrahi

Abstract

Prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis by vaccination has proven an elusive goal. In a recent study, Darrah et al. show that prevention of infection and disease can be achieved in non-human primates by intravenous administration of the century-old vaccine BCG. This finding heralds a step-change in the approach to TB vaccine development.
