A study by immunologists from St John’s Research Institute (SJRI) has found that Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) revaccination in adults enhanced pro-inflammatory markers of trained immunity along with anti-inflammatory pathways. The study was published in iScience, a peer-reviewed scientific journal last month.
Publication: This study characterized mechanisms of BCG revaccination-induced trained immunity (TI) in India. Data highlights a balanced immune response comprising pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators is a feature of BCG revaccination-induced immunity.
