DOI: 10.1002/eji.201948283
Abstract: Prolonged therapy, drug toxicity, noncompliance, immune suppression, and alarming emergence of drug resistance necessitate the search for therapeutic vaccine strategies for tuberculosis (TB). Such strategies ought to elicit not only IFN‐γ, but polyfunctional response including… read more here.
