摘要: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis phoP mutant strain SO2 has previously been shown to have reduced multiplication in mouse macrophages and vivo using the intravenous-infection model. In this study we demonstrate that M. is highly attenuated when compared with parental MT103 also more than BCG severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) mice. Complementation of wild-type gene restored virulence SCID mice, confirming phenotype due mutation. Balb/c mice subcutaneously vaccinated either or BCG, proportions CD4+ CD8+ populations measured spleen were significantly higher group. addition, proportion antigen-stimulated CD4+/CD8+ cells expressing IFN-γ was group protected against intra-venous challenge H37Rv at levels comparable as by bacterial counts lung spleens. Guinea pigs aerosol delivered different doses. A high dose guinea resulted superior protection vaccination, pig survival reduction severity lung.
