Worldwide, the Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine is one of the most widely used vaccines. However, it appears to be ineffective in preventing pulmonary tuberculosis. Here, we show that pulmonary BCG vaccination of mice with a broad dose range provides superior protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis challenge compared to that of subcutaneous vaccination.
在全球范围内,牛分枝杆菌卡介苗(Mycobacterium bovis BCG)是使用最广泛的疫苗之一。然而,它在预防肺结核方面似乎无效。在此,我们表明,与皮下接种相比,对小鼠进行广泛剂量范围的肺部卡介苗接种能提供更好的针对结核分枝杆菌攻击的保护作用。
