At present, tuberculosis is still the leading infectious cause of death in the world, and new preventive strategies are urgently needed to relieve the burden of the disease. At present, bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is widely applied to clinical vaccine for preventing mycobacterium tuberculosis, has better effect of preventing tuberculosis of children, but has the defect of insufficient protective effect on adults [1] . Many candidate vaccines are designed almost as enhancers or modifiers of BCG, having a shared antigen component with BCG, known as subunit vaccines, the presence of "cross-reactions" caused by the shared antigen component makes it still difficult for most new candidate vaccines to effectively boost the protective efficacy of BCG [2]
ESAT-6 as a strong antigen eliciting specific anti-m.tb immune response does not share antigenic components with BCG [3] Is widely used in tuberculosis vaccine research. Research proves that macrophage TLR2 recognition toxicity M.tb immunogenic molecule ESAT-6 can activate intracellular PI3K-Akt pathway [4] . ESAT-6 can also modulate autophagy by SOD-2, thereby inducing intracellular survival of mycobacterium bovis BCG [5] . When BCG is combined with ESAT-6, it is possible to not only activate the TLR2-PI3K-Akt pathway, but also improve BCG survival in vivo, thus enhancing the immune memory response of vaccinated individuals against pathogenic m.tb.
There has also been growing evidence in recent years that B cells, which are the major participants in humoral immune responses, play an important role in regulating T cell function, such as B cell TLR2 signaling leading to NF- κb activation, triggering interleukin IL-6 production, and thus promoting CD4 + Differentiation of T cells into helper T cells 17 (Th 17) [6] While Th17 cells mediate inflammation and neutrophil recruitment to help clear infected M.tb [7] The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Follicular helper T cells (T) constituting the vast majority of lymphoid follicles, including the inducible bronchi-associated lymphoid tissue iBALT fh ) Is amplified from memory T cells in a B cell assisted manner [8] The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the B fineThe interaction between cells and T cells is critical for the normal development of granulomatous protective responses to tuberculosis [9]

Spleen cells (His) to which CD19scFv-ESAT-6 fusion proteins bind + cells) showed the highest proportion of B cells, indicating that the fusion protein was more targeted to B cells than CD19scFv protein or ESAT-6 protein alone (fig. 3B, fig. 3B (top) representative flow image, fig. 3B (bottom) statistical).

3. In peripheral blood cells, when the concentration of CD19scFv-ESAT-6 fusion protein was higher, the bound cells (His + cells), i.e., the proportion of fusion protein bound to B cells, was positively correlated with concentration (fig. 4A-C), indicating that fusion proteins were targeted to bind B cells in peripheral blood.

Example 4:8 μg is an effective dose of the fusion protein to elicit a significant immune response in mice
The fusion protein (CD 19scFv-ESAT-6 fusion protein) prepared in example 2 was injected in gradient doses into the tail vein of each group of C57BL/6J mice and the same amount (1.0X10) 6 CFU), the state of mice after immunization was observed, and spleen cells were sampled at 15 days and 30 days, respectively, cultured in vitro and stimulated with inactivated m.tb H37Rv, and immune effects were determined by flow. Wherein, FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C show the proportion of effector Th1 cells in the spleen of mice after 15 or 30 days of combined immunization of mice with BCG at different concentrations (1 ug,4ug,8 ug) of fusion protein (CD 19scFv-ESAT-6 fusion protein), respectively, and as can be seen from the data, the proportion of Th1 shows an increasing general trend with increasing concentration, and the data of 4ug below 1ug in FIG. 5B may be caused by individual differences of mice, but notIt was concluded that 8ug was the most effective dose and that the fusion proteins produced more Th1 effector cells when used in combination with BCG (1 ug,4ug,8 ug) than when BCG alone (PBS group, BCG injected alone), i.e., had a stronger protective immune effect against tuberculosis. Fig. 5A, 5B and 5C are all statistical diagrams. Results are shown as mean ± standard deviation (n=3). Statistical differences in the figures: * P (P)<0.05,**P<0.01,***P<0.001,****P<0.0001; ANOVA analysis and Neuman-Keuls test. The results show that immunized mice injected with 8 μg of fusion protein showed stronger Th1 response at 15 days (fig. 5A) and 30 days (fig. 5B), respectively, than other dose groups, indicating that 8 μg is an effective dose of fusion protein to elicit a significant immune response in mice (i.e., the maximum dose used without death of the mice). In fig. 5A and 5B, the CD19scFv-ESAT-6 fusion protein set (used as an adjuvant in combination with BCG) was able to generate a stronger Th1 immunoprotection response upon re-stimulation of Rv (virulent mycobacterium tuberculosis) compared to PBS set (immunized BCG only), both in experiments with splenocytes re-stimulated after Rv culture.

A fusion protein (CD 19scFv-ESAT-6 prepared in example 2, the same applies hereinafter) was injected intravenously at a dose of 8. Mu.g in C57BL/6J mice with 1.0X10 6 CFU BCG, splenocytes were taken at 30 days, stimulated with inactivated m.tb H37Rv, inactivated BCG and ESAT-6 (inactivated m.tb H37Rv/BCG CFU: cell number = 10:1,0.1 μg/mL ESAT-6) respectively, and after 24H incubation, flow analysis showed that BCG specific Th1 response was significantly weaker than m.tb H37Rv and ESAT-6 specific Th1 response (fig. 5C), three groups in fig. 5C were the ratio of specific Th1 produced by splenocytes against Rv, BCG, ESAT-6 antigen re-stimulation (ESAT-6 is an exoprotein of virulent tuberculosis strain Rv) respectively 30 days after combined injection with BCG, the result showed a lower ratio of Th1 against BCG, suggesting that the primary effect of fusion protein in combination with BCG was not to cause cross-reactivity against BCG, possibly favoring survival of BCG, and showed that strain Rv was viable in vivoThe Th1 response was very strong, indicating that the fusion protein when used in combination with BCG was able to elicit protective effects against virulent strain Rv. The immune response generated by the combination of the fusion protein and BCG is effective against M.tb H37Rv virulent strains.
