Identification of protective components of two major outer membrane proteins of spotted fever group Rickettsiae.
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Fragments representing the genes of the two major outer membrane proteins of spotted fever group rickettsiae (rOmpA and rOmpB) were tested as DNA vaccines. Immunizations with each of three fragments (rompA4999-6710, rompB1550-2738, and rompB2459-4123) conferred a degree of protection on vaccinated mice against virulent rickettsial challenge. Protection was achieved when DNA immunizations were followed by booster...
