Show more >Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the only vaccine available against tuberculosis and the tuberculin skin test (TST) is the most widely used method to detect BCG take. However, subjects may remain TST-negative, even after several BCG administrations. To investigate some of the potential reasons underlying this inability of developing tuberculin sensitivity in response to BCG we compared the effect of different mycobacterial stimuli in the groups differently responding to tuberculin. TST was performed on 71 healthy adults aged 25–30 years, who had received BCG in their childhood, and considered TST-positive at ≥10 mm. Dendritic cells (DCs) were incubated with PPD, live BCG or rBCGhIL-18, producing human IL-18. The latter strain was used to investigate whether the production of IL-18 could overcome some of the immune read-out limitations in the TST-negative subjects. CD86, CD80, CD40, and DC-specific intracellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) expression was analysed by flow cytometry and IL-10, IL-23 and IP-10 secretion in culture supernatants by ELISA. In DCs-T cell co-cultures with naive and memory CD4+ T cells, the IFN-γ and IL-10 levels were determined by ELISA. We found no difference in IL-10 and IFN-γ production by naive T cells between the TST-negative and TST-positive subjects. However, IFN-γ was produced in significantly higher amounts by memory T cells incubated with PPD, BCG or rBCGhIL-18-pulsed DCs in TST-positive than in TST-negative subjects, whereas the numbers of the IFN-γ-producing T cells were similar in both groups. This difference may be partially due to a decreased CD40 and enhanced reduction in DC-SIGN expression by DCs of TST-negative versus TST-positive subjects. A strong effect of IL-18 expression by rBCGhIL-18 on IL-23 production by the DC was seen in both groups, which likely was the reason for the increased IFN-γ production by naïve T cells upon incubation with mycobacteria-pulsed DC, regardless of the TST status.Show less >
