Advancing Immunotherapeutic Vaccine Strategies Against Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Chemotherapeutic intervention remains the primary strategy in treating and controlling tuberculosis (TB). However, a complex interplay between therapeutic and patient-related factors leads to poor treatment adherence. This in turn continues to give rise to unacceptably high rates of disease relapse...

Therapeutic vaccines represent one such approach which aims to accomplish this through boosting and/or priming novel anti-TB immune responses to accelerate disease resolution, shorten treatment duration, and enhance treatment success rates.

By dissecting the underlying mechanisms/correlates of their successes and/or shortcomings, strategies can be identified to improve existing and future vaccine candidates. This mini-review will discuss the current understanding of therapeutic TB vaccine candidates, and discuss major strategies that can be implemented in advancing their development.https://www.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fimmu.2020.557809/fulltuberculosistherapeutic vaccinechemotherapyimmunotherapyrespiratory mucosamycobacterial life cycle
