A new study will compare whether giving tuberculosis vaccine by inhalation is better at protecting against tuberculosis (TB) than injection into the skin. The Jenner Institute at the University of Oxford is conducting the study using Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), the current licensed vaccine against TB. As the natural route of infection with TB is through inhalation of droplets into the lungs, it is hoped that delivering BCG by the same route will be more effective at stimulating the immune sys

Annotation of genes in immune cells typically involves the creation of germline knockout mice, which is time-consuming, as it only changes one gene at a time. CRISPR-based systems enable gene knockout in immune cells in a high-throughput manner, but these systems have not been widely employed in vivo. The CHIME and new X-CHIME systems, developed and deposited at Addgene by Arlene Sharpe’s lab , allow for wide deployment of in vivo gene knockout in immune systems.
