There is an urgent need for an effective therapeutic vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), which remains a major public health problem. Current "classical" strategies under development have failed or are suboptimal, and more effective vaccines are needed to achieve the World Health Organization's 2035 End TB Strategy. We have generated a post-exposure / therapeutic TB vaccine candidate (CD40.TB) whose heavy chain consists of an antibody directed against a surface antigen (i.e., CD40) of antigen-presenting cells (i.e., dendritic cells) conjugated to three relevant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigens and which is liable to induce potent anti-TB humoral and cellular immunity.
