Characterisation of the T cell responses induced by BCG in infants over the first year of life
Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) is the only licensed tuberculosis (TB) vaccine. Despite the immunisation of 3 billion individuals with this vaccine, TB remains a major cause of mortality worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective TB vaccines. BCG is likely to …
