A nonspecific component of BCG vaccination
Decades of research on the mechanisms of immunological protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (ТВ), did not allow us to draw a final conclusion about the relative importance of specific pathways when forming protective immunological memory. The BCG vaccine...

Decades of research on the mechanisms of immunological protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (ТВ), did not allow us to draw a final conclusion about the relative importance of specific pathways when forming protective immunological memory. The BCG vaccine, being the only so far approved tuberculosis vaccine protects children from severe forms of ТВ infection. It is still unclear why BCG does not save from primary infection, reactivation of ТВ and latent carrying. At the same time, the association between BCG vaccination and a reduced risk of non-mycobacterial infections, allergies, cancer and general mortality has been demonstrated. Such nonspecific effects of BCG are dependent mostly on the innate immune cells, rather than on specific memory Т cells. There is evidence of an adjuvant effect of BCG vaccination with respect to the humoral immune response to a variety of childhood vaccines. This review is focused mostly on the analysis of works aimed at studying the relatively recently identified mechanism for generating the non-specific effect of the BCG vaccine, i.e., development of induced natural immunity. This phenomenon is mediated by NOD2 signaling and epigenetic macrophage modification and, due to BCG vaccination, leads to enhanced capacity of macrophages to produce TNFa and IL-6 in response to stimulation by BCG-nonrelated microorganisms or TLR ligands.
