UCLA scientists engineered a new tuberculosis (TB) vaccine specifically designed
for HIV-positive people that was shown to be safer and more potent than the
current TB vaccine in preclinical trials.    A more effective TB vaccine may
help curtail the global spread of the disease, especially in HIV-positive
people, for whom tuberculosis is the leading cause of death worldwide.
