A Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific subunit vaccine that provides synergistic immunity upon co-administration with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin

Tuberculosis (TB) subunit vaccines have been investigated as boosters for BCG-induced immunity. Here, the authors design a TB subunit vaccine that doesn't share antigens with BCG and show that co-administration of the two vaccines broadens the T cell response to TB and increases protection.
