Dendritic Cell Activity Driven by Recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG Producing Human IL-18, in Healthy BCG Vaccinated Adults by Piotr Szpakowski, Franck Biet, Camille Locht, Małgorzata Paszkiewicz, Wiesława Rudnicka, Magdalena Druszczyńska, Fabrice Allain, Marek Fol, Joël Pestel, Magdalena Kowalewicz-Kulbat

“…Tuberculosis remains an enormous global burden, despite wide vaccination coverage with the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), the only vaccine available against this disease, indicating that BCG-driven immunity is insufficient to protect the human population against tuberculosis. In this study we constructed recombinant BCG producing human IL-18 (rBCGhIL-18) and investigated whether human IL-18 produced by rBCGhIL-18 modulates DC functions and enhances Th1 responses to mycobacterial antigens in humans. …”
