Background: The recombinant BCG Delta ureC::hly(+) (rBCG) vaccine candidate is more efficient than parental BCG (pBCG) against tuberculosis (TB) in preclinical models. Evidence exists for superior CD4 and CD8 T cell stimulation. Although the responsible immune mechanisms are incompletely understood, crosspriming of CD8 T cells has been proposed as a major mechanism underlying better protection of rBCG over pBCG. The present study investigates the role of apoptotic vesicles from pBCG- and rBCG-infected macrophages in crosspriming.Methods: Apoptotic vesicles were isolated from pBCG- and rBCG-infected mouse macrophages. The priming potential of the isolated vesicles was evaluated in terms of dendritic cell activation and specific T cell stimulation.Results: Apoptotic vesicles from both pBCG- and rBCG-infected macrophages activated dendritic cells but to a different degree. Overall, rBCG-infected apoptotic vesicles induced more profound CD4 and CD8 T cell responses as compared to pBCG.Conclusions: These data support the notion that the improved vaccine efficacy of rBCG rests on enhanced crosspriming as a consequence of stronger apoptosis.
