Scientists identify 'unconventional' new pathway for TB vaccines (post)

An "unconventional" immune response now identified by scientists from the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is a potential new pathway for developing new vaccines for tuberculosis (TB), according to a new publication.

  • Tuberculosis (TB) makes 10 million people sick every year, and kills around 1.5 million people, more than any other infectious disease.  
  • Drug resistant TB is a growing problem, with more than 400 thousand new cases annually, and more than 150 thousand deaths. 
  • MTBVAC is a highly promising TB vaccine candidate that aims to prevent both drug sensitive and drug resistant TB in infants as well as in adolescents and adults.

O Porriño, 20th June 2024. Biofabri, a global human vaccine development company that is part of the Zendal group, and TBVI, a non-profit foundation facilitating the discovery and development of new TB vaccines that are globally accessible and affordable, have signed a contract with the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) under the EU4Health Programme to accelerate the final development of the MTBVAC vaccine. MTBVAC is a highly promising vaccine candidate that has the potential to be used as an alternative to BCG vaccination in infants and for prevention of TB disease in adolescents and adults.

In the battle against infectious diseases, vaccines are the most powerful allies for building immune responses. In line with this, a recent study indicates that Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) boosters reveal new and existing populations of memory cells, highlighting their protective role against tuberculosis (TB) infection.
