Genetic aspects of BCG vaccination in experimental tuberculosis
1995
: The paper discusses the genetic control of and the mechanisms of protective antituberculous immunity following BCG vaccination in inbred mice. The following genetic systems H-2 (B10.M)(H-2f) and B10.SM (H-2v) congenics were not protected with a high dose of BCG vaccine); Xid (X-linked immunodeficiency) CBA/N mice were not protected with regularly protective doses of BCG vaccine; Tbc-1 (I/St mice (Tbc-1s) were hypersensitive to tuberculosis. In two genetic systems (H-2 and xid), a distinct genetic control of susceptibility to primary tuberculosis and efficacy of BCG vaccination was demonstrated.
