Immune responses to BCG immunisation and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in non-human primates

2009-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The evaluation of new vaccines that are urgently needed against tuberculosis (TB) is hampered by the lack of an immune correlate of protection. One of the main measures of immune function utilised in TB vaccine studies is the assessment of interferon (IFN)-ɣ, as it is known that this cytokine is essential for immunity against infection. The studies conducted in this thesis uses the non-human primate model of TB to...
