Genetic Immunization Elicits Antigen-Specific Protective Immune Responses and Decreases Disease Severity inTrypanosoma cruziInfection
12 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Immunity to Trypanosoma cruzi requires elicitation of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to extracellular trypomastigotes and intracellular amastigotes. In this study, the effectiveness of the T. cruzi trans-sialidase family (ts) genes ASP-1, ASP-2, and TSA-1 as genetic vaccines was assessed. Immunization of mice with plasmids encoding ASP-1, ASP-2, or TSA-1 elicited poor antigen-specific...
