HLA-DRB1 and tuberculosis: In conclusion, we propose that epitope-based candidates for vaccines against TBshould have high affinity to the HLA-DRB1 alleles *03, *04, *07, *11, *13, and *15as core targets, and to *01, *08, *09, *12, and *14 as additional targets,especially with regard to TB control in the BRICS countries.
