Started by Masoud Dara, MD on 07 Feb 2011
Dear colleagues,
An exciting news which is worth spreading and/or repeating even if you have already been informed about it.
An international research team led by researchers at the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark has developed a new vaccine that can fight tuberculosis in mice before and after exposure to the infectious agent. The report is online this week in Nature Medicine.

The article provides an excellent overview of the mechanism of action of the newly proposed vaccine which will go under trial for its efficacy against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in human.
Best regards,
Masoud
