About
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to APHA for research investigating NKp46+CD3+ non-conventional T-cell populations in cattle as a novel target for vaccines against bovine tuberculosis.
The project examined the quantitative and kinetic characteristics of these T-cell responses following BCG vaccination and M.
bovis exposure, their functions, and the mycobacterial lipids they recognise, with the goal of evaluating lipid antigens for vaccine potential and as DIVA reagents.
The contract value was AUD 258,467.
