Abstract:

With the breakthrough of key technologies, the achievements based on the gene knockout MTB mutant library and animal models of tuberculosis, enable the development of systematic immunology of tuberculosis (SIT). In this review, we described the data framework of SIT, and we also discussed how the SIT database will benefit the prosperity of novel vaccine and drug development against the tuberculosis disease.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Immunologic techniques, Animal models, Gene knockout techniques, Vaccines, Systematic immunology
