Question

To treat early-stage NMIBC, this vaccine is intravesically instilled following TURBT into the bladder as immunotherapy. GSK and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are running Phase 3 trials for a potential replacement for this (-5[1])vaccine called (-5[1])M72. Georg Deycke and Ernst Altstaedt were sentenced to prison for contaminating this vaccine in the Lübeck disaster. This vaccine offers partial prophylaxis for Buruli ulcer infection. This vaccine was developed from 1908 to 1921 by Albert (*) Calmette and Camille Guérin at the Institut Pasteur. This vaccine increases the interferon-gamma response in the body. A characteristic (10[1])flat, round scar forms (10[1])after this vaccine’s intradermal (-5[1])administration, which can cause a false positive Mantoux skin test afterwards. For 10 points, name this vaccine developed from heat-attenuated Mycobacterium bovis. (10[2])■END■ (10[1])
