Self-adjuvanting nanovaccines boost lung-resident CD4+ T cell immune responses in BCG-primed mice

Abstract Heterologous vaccine regimens could extend waning protection in the global population immunized with Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG). We demonstrate that pulmonary delivery of peptide nanofibers (PNFs) bearing an Ag85B CD4+ T cell epitope increased the frequency of antigen...
