This project is a collaboration between Prof. Sergio Costa Oliveira from the University of São Paulo (USP) and Prof. Glen Barber from the Ohio State University (OSU). This grant will strength the already existing collaborative studies between both groups. The Barber laboratory discovered the STING (for STimulator of INterferon Genes signaling pathway). STING predominantly resides in the e…
The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) besides its specific action against tuberculosis, it has the ability to trigger non-specific positive effects against heterologous viral and bacterial infections and against cancer. These effects have been associated in part with the innate immune system through a phenomenon termed trained immunity that is long lasting when it involves bone marrow cells …

Macrophages metabolic reprogramming in response to pathogens is a major determinant of bacterial growth or containment. Brucella abortus is a facultative intracellular bacterium that causes brucellosis, a prevalent zoonosis, that leads to abortion and infertility in domestic animals, and undulant fever, debilitating arthritis, endocarditis and meningitis in humans. This infection leads to…
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a practice used in the prevention of severe forms of tuberculosis. However, its immunomodulatory effects go beyond this purpose, providing heterologous protection against other infections (viral and bacterial) and even non-infectious conditions (such as cancer). This enhanced protective effect has been attributed to the phenomenon known as trained immunit…
Brucellosis is the most widespread bacterial zoonosis in the world, with Brucella abortus being the main etiological agent. This bacteria leads to the contamination of meat, milk and their derivatives, in addition to resulting in the sterility of one in every five infected cattle. This pathology leads to the economic loss of more than 600 million dollars in Latin America. In humans, bruce…
The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the only licensed vaccine for use in tuberculosis control. It has also the ability to trigger non-specific immune protection against viral and bacterial infections. These beneficial side effects have been related to the innate immune system, a phenomenon known as trained immunity. When comprising the bone marrow (BM) compartment, this phenomenon repre…
