Bronchus associated lymphoid tissue induced by an attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis vaccine prevents tuberculosis from heterologous TB challenge

Dhiraj K. Singh, Garima Arora, Venkata Siva Reddy Devireddy…·Deepak Kaushal

This study shows that an attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis vaccine induces bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (iBALT) and protects against heterologous TB challenge in macaques.
