摘要
While the etiology of tuberculosis is well understood, the nature of the protective immune response to the causative mycobacteria has remained a mystery. There is an urgent need to define protective immunity critically, and to develop alternative animal models to evaluate the efficacy of new-generation vaccines against tuberculosis in a cost-effective way.
