Hypoxia induces an immunodominant target of tuberculosis specific T cells absent from common BCG vaccines.

Hypoxia induces an immunodominant target of tuberculosis specific T cells absent from common BCG vaccines.

M. tuberculosis (MTB) species-specific antigenic determinants of the human T cell response are important for immunodiagnosis and vaccination. As hypoxia is a stimulus in chronic tuberculosis infection, we analyzed transcriptional profiles of MTB subject to 168 hours of hypoxia to test the hypothesis...
