DNA Methylation Profiles of Immune Cells From Tuberculosis-Exposed Individuals Overlap With BCG-Induced Epigenetic Changes
2022-01-05
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of protection of the only approved tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) is poorly understood. In recent years, epigenetic modifications induced by BCG have been demonstrated to reflect a state of trained immunity. The concept of trained immunity is now explored as a potential prevention strategy for a variety of infections. Studies on human TB immunity are dominated by those usin...
