abstract: 'Despite of the rapid development of the vaccines against the severe
|
|
|
|
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it will take
|
|
|
|
several months to have enough doses and the proper infrastructure to
|
|
|
|
vaccinate a good proportion of the world population. In this interim,
|
|
|
|
the accessibility to the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) may mitigate the
|
|
|
|
pandemic impact in some countries and the BCG vaccine offers significant
|
|
|
|
advantages and flexibility in the way clinical vaccines are
|
|
|
|
administered. BCG vaccination is a highly cost-effective intervention
|
|
|
|
against tuberculosis (TB) and many low-and lower-middle-income countries
|
|
|
|
would likely have the infrastructure, and health care personnel
|
|
|
|
sufficiently familiar with the conventional TB vaccine to mount
|
|
|
|
full-scale efforts to administer novel BCG-based vaccine for COVID-19.
|
|
|
|
This suggests the potential for BCG to overcome future barriers to
|
|
|
|
vaccine roll-out in the countries where health systems are fragile and
|
|
|
|
where the effects of this new coronavirus could be catastrophic. Many
|
|
|
|
studies have reported cross-protective effects of the BCG vaccine toward
|
|
|
|
non-tuberculosis related diseases. Mechanistically, this
|
|
|
|
cross-protective effect of the BCG vaccine can be explained, in part, by
|
|
|
|
trained immunity, a recently discovered program of innate immune memory,
|
|
|
|
which is characterized by non-permanent epigenetic reprogramming of
|
|
|
|
macrophages that leads to increased inflammatory cytokine production and
|
|
|
|
consequently potent immune responses. In this review, we summarize
|
|
|
|
recent work highlighting the potential use of BCG for the treatment
|
|
|
|
respiratory infectious diseases and ongoing SARS-CoV-2 clinical trials.
|
|
|
|
In situations where no other specific prophylactic tools are available,
|
|
|
|
the BCG vaccine could be used as a potential adjuvant, to decrease
|
|
|
|
sickness of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or to mitigate the effects of
|
|
|
|
concurrent respiratory infections.'
