Abstract
Over the last few years, some of our experiments in which mycobacterial heat-shock protein (HSP) antigens were presented to the immune system as if they were viral antigens have had a significant impact on our understanding of protective immunity against tuberculosis. They have also markedly enhanced the prospects for new vaccines. We now know that the mycobacterial HSP65 antigen can confer protection equal to that from live BCG vaccine in mice.Entities:
