Abstract
These data suggest that BCG vaccination of infants induces specific polyfunctional T-helper-1 and T-helper-17 responses and the ability, in the PBMC compartment, to inhibit the growth of mycobacteria in vitro. We also demonstrate that polyfunctional T-helper-1 cells may play a role in growth inhibition as evidenced by a significant correlation between the two.
