A new TB vaccine
Abstract
Although M. tuberculosis was identified as an agent of infectious disease by Koch in 1884, it has proved difficult to produce a safe and effective vaccine against it. In this article, Marcus A. Horwitz explains the need to replace the BCG vaccine, outlines the search for new vaccine designs, and points the way to the likely future of TB vaccines.
