BCG stimulated dendritic cells induce an interleukin‐10 producing T‐cell population with no T helper 1 or T helper 2 bias in vitro

Abstract: SummaryMycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has been associated with beneficial effects on overall childhood mortality in lowincome countries; this cannot be explained merely by the prevention of tuberculosis (TB) deaths. The beneficial effects of BCG vaccine could be the result of either strengthening of pro-inflammatory mechanisms, helping neonates to fight infections, or the induction of an immune-regulatory network restricting overt inflammation and intense pathology. We aimed to stud… Show more

“…In fact unvaccinated children at 4 1/2 mo of age had greater levels of IL-10 in BCG cultures than the BCG vaccinated individuals, suggesting that mycobacterial induced IL-10 could play a role in attenuating induction of the protective mycobacterial response after BCG vaccination. A lack of IL-10 upregulation after BCG vaccination is in conflict with other studies (46,47,58). A South African study showed upregulation of IL-10, albeit at very low levels (,0.01% of CD4 + or CD8 + T cells) in 12 h BCG cultures (47).…”

“…Signaling between cells may aid these responses because lymphocytes produce IL-10 in response to various bacteria such as Mycobacteria spp. (75,76) and Helicobacter spp. (77), and intercellular interactions can be essential to drive antibacterial responses (78).…”

“…Importantly, mycobacteria, including the vaccine strain M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), are able to suppress the immune response by interfering with the normal function of DCs (23,73). Induction of the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) has a negative effect on the production of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-12 and inhibits a Th1-biased response which is necessary for mycobacterial clearance (14,45). Responsible for at least part of this immune modulation is the binding of mycobacteria to the C-type lectin DCspecific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN [CD209]) (26,69).…”
