There has been a recent increase in our understanding of T cell responses during mycobacterial infection; however, we have not yet identified the protective mechanisms capable of mediating vaccine-induced protection in the lung. Novel approaches have allowed the determination of the kinetics and location of naïve T cell activation, as well as the factors that affect of antigen-specific T cell responses, and the balance between protective and immunopathological consequences during the chronic stages of infection. With an urgent need for new and more efficient vaccination strategies, the integration of these data will result in improved vaccine strategies.
