"The Value of BCG and TNF in Autoimmunity" provides an overview
of current research and thinking related to tumor necrosis factor
(TNF) induction and the use of the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)
vaccine as potential treatment approaches to diverse forms of
autoimmunity. BCG, commonly known as an anti-tuberculosis vaccine,
is being explored in worldwide clinical trials as an approach to
the treatment of certain forms of autoimmunity. The scope of
research behind this therapeutic approach spans from the basic
science of TNF signaling to research in diverse autoimmune
disciplines, such as type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Overall, the book focuses on the lessons that can be learned
from the researchers' individual experiences and data, and provides
a rationale for bringing the inexpensive, generic BCG vaccine to
the forefront of clinical trials in different forms of
autoimmunity.
