Differential Immune Responses and Protective Efficacy Induced by Components of a Tuberculosis Polyprotein Vaccine, Mtb72F, Delivered as Naked DNA or Recombinant Protein
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Key Ags of Mycobacterium tuberculosis initially identified in the context of host responses in healthy purified protein derivative-positive donors and infected C57BL/6 mice were prioritized for the development of a subunit vaccine against tuberculosis. Our lead construct, Mtb72F, codes for a 72-kDa polyprotein genetically linked in tandem in the linear order Mtb32(C)-Mtb39-Mtb32(N). Immunization of C57BL/6 mice...
