Abstract
⺠A polyepitope TB vaccine was designed from five HLA-DR3-restricted T-cell epitopes. ⺠Epitopes are derived from Mtb proteins expressed by replicating and dormant bacilli. ⺠Polyepitope immunization of HLA-DR3 mice induced immunity against Mtb. ⺠Polyepitope immunization reduced CFU in lungs of HLA-DR3 mice after live Mtb challenge.
