CA 2607715

The present invention is directed to methods of preventing reactivation of active and latent M. tuberculosis infections by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a nucleic acid encoding a Mtb72f fusion protein, or a Mtb72f fusion protein or an immunogenic fragment thereof, for example together with an adjuvant. The Mtb72f nucleic acid or fusion protein can be administered with one or more chemotherapeutic agents effective against a M. tuberculosis infection. The methods also provide for shortening the time course of a chemotherapeutic regimen against a M. tuberculosis infection.

L'invention concerne des méthodes de prévention de la réactivation d'infections actives ou latentes par M. tuberculosis, par administration d'une composition pharmaceutique contenant un acide nucléique codant pour une protéine de fusion Mtb72f, ou une protéine de fusion Mtb72f ou un fragment immunogénique de celle-ci, par exemple avec un adjuvant. L'acide nucléique ou la protéine de fusion Mtb72f peuvent être administrés avec un ou plusieurs agents chimiothérapeutiques efficaces contre les infections par M. tuberculosis. Les méthodes de l'invention sont également destinées à réduire le temps d'absorption d'une posologie chimiothérapeutique contre les infections par M. tuberculosis.
