[ 1 ] - Quantiation of IL-4, IL-10 and IFN- Genes Expression after Immunization of Mice with CFP-10 and ESAT-6 Containing Vectors
Background: Tuberculosis is a disease with high morbidity, caused mainly by Mycobaterium tuberculosis (M.tb.). DNA vaccines show a promising future due to their unique advantages over conventional methods. The early-secreted antigen target (ESAT)-6 and culture filtrate protein (CFP)-10 of M.tb. antigens have been identified as vaccine candidates against Mycobacteria and used as subunit vaccines...
[ 2 ] - Construction of an Expression Plasmid (Vector) Encoding Brucella melitensis Outer Membrane Protein, a Candidate for DNA Vaccine
Background: DNA vaccination with plasmid encoding bacterial, viral, and parasitic immunogens has been shown to be an attractive method to induce efficient immune responses. Bacteria of the genus Brucella are facultative intracellular pathogens for which new and efficient vaccines are needed. Methods: To evaluate the use of a DNA immunization strategy for protection against brucellosis, a pla...
