Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem around the world. Because the Mycobacterium bovis Bacilli-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine fails to protect adults from pulmonary tuberculosis, there is an urgent need for improved vaccine formulations. Unlike BCG, recombinant vaccines purified from bacterial expression vectors, as well as naked DNA, require an additional adjuvant. Recent improvements in our understanding of disease immunopathology, together with advances in biochemical and molecular techniques, have permitted the successful development of promising tuberculosis vaccine delivery and adjuvant combinations for human use. Here, we summarize the current state of adjuvant development and its impact on tuberculosis vaccine progress.
