Abstract:
Tuberculosis is a chronic infections disease which still causes major health problems worldwide. Although the attenuated life vaccine strain BCG is available, novel vaccination strategies are currently discussed. These could be composed of recombinant proteins or synthetic polypeptides as antigens and novel adjuvants or recombinant carriers to improve immunogenicity.
