Abstract excerpt
Protective antigen (PA) is the main component of all the vaccines against anthrax. The currently available vaccines have traces of other proteins that contribute to its reactogenicity. Thus, purified PA is recommended for human vaccination. PA loses its biological activity within 48h at 37 degrees C and its thermolability has been a cause of concern as accidental exposure to higher temperatures during...
