Dose-dependent immune response to Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination in neonates

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, Volume 14, No. 2, Year 2007

In 10-week-old infants vaccinated at birth with Japanese Mycobacterium bovis BCG, the number of dermal needle penetrations correlated positively with frequency of proliferating CD4+ T cells in whole blood following BCG stimulation for 6 days but did not correlate with secreted cytokine levels after 7 h or interferon CD4+ T-cell frequency after 12 h of BCG stimulation.
