BCG immunization-induced KLRG1+ NK cells show memory-like responses to mycobacterial and HIV antigens

Manuja Gayashan Bandara Gunasena, Mario Alles, Thorsten Demberg…·Namal P. M. Liyanage

This study shows BCG vaccination induces KLRG1+ NK cells that produce IFN-gamma in response to both MTB and HIV antigens, suggesting memory-like immunity against these pathogens.
