Immunogenic profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv1513 reveals its ability to switch on Th1 based immunity.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the infectious diseases caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis that continuously threatens the global human health. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is the only vaccine that has been used clinically to prevent tuberculosis in recent centuries, but its limitations in preventing latent infection and reactivation of tuberculosis do not provide full protection. In this study, we selected the membrane-associated antigen Rv1513 of Mycobacterium.

Construction and expression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein SHR3 and its immunogenicity analysis in combination with various adjuvants.

Tuberculosis (TB) today remains the leading cause of global deaths due to infectious bacterial pathogens. The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is the only vaccine clinically used to prevent TB. However, its limitations in preventing latent infection and TB reactivation mean that it does not provide comprehensive protection.

CD4 levels and NSCLC metastasis: the benefits of maintaining moderate levels.

Objectives: Prior researches indicate that peripheral blood CD4 levels have an inverse correlation with distant tumor metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the linear relationship between CD4 and distant metastasis lacks clarity. Hence, the objective of this study was to ascertain the linear relationship between CD4 and distant metastasis in NSCLC patients.

Long-Term Immunogenicity and Prophylactic Protective Efficacy of Fusion Protein DR2 Combined with Liposomal Adjuvant DIMQ as a Boosting Vaccine for BCG.

The resuscitation of dormant is an important cause of adult tuberculosis (TB) transmission. According to the interaction mechanism between and the host, the latency antigen and region of difference 9 (RD9) antigen were selected in this study to prepare the fusion protein DR2. Stimulating clinically diagnosed active tuberculosis infections (i.

Construction and expression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein AR2 and its immunogenicity in combination with various adjuvants to form vaccine.

Tuberculosis (TB) is recognized as a highly infectious disease worldwide, and Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains the only TB vaccine licensed for clinical use. As there is little evidence that BCG is effective in adults, there is an urgent need for a safe and effective vaccine to control TB in adults. In this study, we tested the immunomodulatory efficiency of the fusion protein AR2.

Use of DosR and Rpf antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis to screen for latent and relapse tuberculosis infection in a tuberculosis endemic community of Huainan City.

The dormancy survival regulator (DosR) antigens upgraded during latency and resuscitation-promoting factors (Rpfs) expressed over the reactivation from dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) could be used to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) at different stages. We performed a retrospective cohort study based on four groups, including healthy controls (HCs), active tuberculosis infections (ATBs), latent tuberculosis infections (LTBIs), and relapse tuberculosis infections (RTBs) enrolled between November 2020 and June 2021.

Enhanced immunogenicity of the tuberculosis subunit Rv0572c vaccine delivered in DMT liposome adjuvant as a BCG-booster.

COVID-19 has affected the progress made in the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis (TB); hence, the mortality of tuberculosis has risen. Different strategies-based novel TB vaccine candidates have been developed. This study identifies strategies to overcome the limitations of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in preventing latent infection and reactivation of TB.
