BCG vaccination-induced acquired control of mycobacterial growth differs from growth control preexisting to BCG vaccination [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Bacillus Calmette-Guèrin - vaccination induces not only protection in infants and young children against severe forms of tuberculosis, but also against non-tuberculosis related all-cause mortality. To delineate different factors influencing mycobacterial

BCG vaccination induces enhanced frequencies of memory T cells and altered plasma levels of common γc cytokines in elderly individuals.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BCG vaccination is known to induce innate immune memory, which confers protection against heterologous infections. However, the effect of BCG vaccination on the conventional adaptive immune cells subsets is not well characterized.

BCG Vaccination in Humans Elicits Trained Immunity via the Hematopoietic Progenitor Compartment

open access: yesCell Host and Microbe, 2020
Summary Induction of trained immunity by Bacille-Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination mediates beneficial heterologous effects, but the mechanisms underlying its persistence and magnitude remain elusive.

Activate: Randomized Clinical Trial of BCG Vaccination against Infection in the Elderly

open access: yesCell, 2020
BCG vaccination in children protects against heterologous infections and improves survival independently of tuberculosis prevention. The phase III ACTIVATE trial assessed whether BCG has similar effects in the elderly.

Boosting BCG with recombinant modified vaccinia ankara expressing antigen 85A: different boosting intervals and implications for efficacy trials. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
ObjectivesTo investigate the safety and immunogenicity of boosting BCG with modified vaccinia Ankara expressing antigen 85A (MVA85A), shortly after BCG vaccination, and to compare this first with the immunogenicity of BCG vaccination alone and second ...

Multi-omics analysis of innate and adaptive responses to BCG vaccination reveals epigenetic cell states that predict trained immunity

open access: yesImmunity
Immune responses are tightly regulated yet highly variable between individuals. To investigate human population variation of trained immunity, we immunized healthy individuals with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG).

Is BCG vaccination causally related to reduced COVID‐19 mortality?

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020
The ongoing severe acute respiratory sickness coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) pandemic has resulted in more than 3,600,000 detected cases of COVID‐19 illness and nearly 260,000 deaths worldwide as of May 6, 2020.

BCG vaccination to reduce the impact of COVID-19 in healthcare workers: Protocol for a randomised controlled trial (BRACE trial)

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2021
Introduction BCG vaccination modulates immune responses to unrelated pathogens. This off-target effect could reduce the impact of emerging pathogens. As a readily available, inexpensive intervention that has a well-established safety profile, BCG is a ...

Long-term effects of BCG vaccination on telomere length and telomerase activity [PDF]

open access: yesiScience
Summary: This study explores the effects of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination on telomere maintenance, an aging-related process, in immune cells.

Broad heparin-binding haemagglutinin-specific cytokine and chemokine response in infants following Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
: Heparin-binding haemagglutinin (HBHA)-specific immune responses have been linked to protection against tuberculosis (TB). We investigated the hypothesis that BCG vaccination of human infants primes an HBHA-specific response, using multiplex to measure ...
