Neonatal BCG vaccination is associated with a long-term DNA methylation signature in circulating monocytes
5 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Trained immunity describes the capacity of innate immune cells to develop heterologous memory in response to certain exogenous exposures. This phenomenon mediates, at least in part, the beneficial off-target effects of the BCG vaccine. Using an in vitro model of trained immunity, we show that BCG exposure induces a persistent change in active histone modifications, DNA methylation, transcription, and...
