Hypoxia induces an immunodominant target of tuberculosis specific T cells absent from common BCG vaccines. by Hannah Priyadarshini Gideon, Katalin Andrea Wilkinson, Tige R Rustad, Tolu Oni, Heinner Guio, Robert Andrew Kozak, David R Sherman, Graeme Meintjes, Marcel A Behr, Hans Martin Vordermeier, Douglas Brownlee Young, Robert John Wilkinson

“…In addition, the IL-2 response to Rv1986 was significantly lower in HIV-TB co-infected persons than in HIV uninfected persons, and significantly increased during antiretroviral therapy. These findings demonstrate that Rv1986 is an immunodominant target of memory T cells and is therefore of relevance when considering the partial efficacy of currently used BCG vaccines and provide evidence for a clinical trial comparing BCG strains.…”
