Prevention of tuberculosis infection and disease by local BCG in repeatedly exposed rhesus macaques.

TL;DR: It is shown that pulmonary BCG prevents infection by using a repeated limiting-dose Mycobacterium tuberculosis challenge model and polyfunctional T-helper type 17 (TH17) cells, interleukin-10 and immunoglobulin A as correlates of local protective immunity.

Antibodies to Glycans Dominate the Host Response to Schistosome Larvae and Eggs: Is Their Role Protective or Subversive?

TL;DR: The antiglycan responses resulting from infection could be a smoke screen to subvert the immune system away from more vulnerable larval peptide epitopes, and explain the long time required for antischistosome immunity to build up after infection.
