Leveraging a synthetic biology approach to enhance BCG-mediated expansion of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells
2025-05-09
Abstract excerpt
There is an urgent need to develop a more efficacious anti-tuberculosis vaccine as the current live-attenuated vaccine strain BCG fails to prevent pulmonary infection in adults. Our long-term goal is to test whether increasing the immunogenicity of BCG will improve vaccine effectiveness while maintaining its proven safety profile. In this study, we leverage a synthetic biology approach to engineer BCG to produce m...
