Humoral correlates of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis following intravenous BCG vaccination in rhesus macaques
Summary: Altering Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunization from low-dose intradermal (i.d.) to high-dose intravenous (i.v.) vaccination provides a high level of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In addition to strong T cell immunity, i.v. BCG drives robust humoral immune respons...

description | Summary: Altering Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunization from low-dose intradermal (i.d.) to high-dose intravenous (i.v.) vaccination provides a high level of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In addition to strong T cell immunity, i.v. BCG drives robust humoral immune responses that track with bacterial control. However, given the near-complete protection afforded by high-dose i.v. BCG immunization, a precise correlate of protection was difficult to define. Here we leveraged plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) from a cohort of rhesus macaques that received decreasing doses of i.v. BCG and aimed to define correlates of immunity following Mtb challenge. We show an i.v. BCG dose-dependent induction of mycobacterial-specific humoral immune responses. Antibody responses at peak immunogenicity predicted bacterial control post-challenge. Multivariate analyses revealed antibody-mediated complement and natural killer (NK) cell-activating humoral networks as key signatures of protective immunity. This work extends our understanding of humoral biomarkers and potential mechanisms of i.v. BCG-mediated protection against Mtb. |
