Researchers have developed DNA vaccines expressing M. tuberculosis antigen 85A (Ag85A, fbpA) and cytokine granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The immune strategy of BCG-prime and DNA vaccine boost induced mice to generate efficient immune protection against M. tuberculosis challenge [PubMed: 19450898].
