Multi-omics analysis of human population variation in immune function and in vivo response to BCG vaccination


ABSTRACT: Immune responses are tightly regulated, yet highly variable between individuals. To investigate human population variation of trained immunity, we immunized healthy individuals with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). This live attenuated vaccine induces not only an adaptive immune response against tuberculosis, but also triggers innate immune activation and memory. We established personal immune profiles and chromatin accessibility maps over a time course of BCG vaccination in 323 individuals. This large resource uncovered genetic and epigenetic predictors of baseline immunity and BCG vaccine response. We found that BCG vaccination enhances the innate immune response only in individuals with dormant immune states at baseline, suggesting that exogeneous induction of trained immunity is not a universal booster of innate immunity, but specifically elevates weak innate immune responses. This study advances our understanding of BCG’s heterologous immune-stimulatory effects and trained immunity in humans. Moreover, our results highlight the value of epigenetic cell states as an “endophenotype” that connects immune function with genotype and the environment.
