Abstract excerpt
Using an Escherichia coli-grown plasmid vector encoding a fragment of thioredoxin (Trx) fused to a central region (amino acids 128 to 229) of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (Long strain) G protein, we employed site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the importance of selected amino acids to vaccine efficacy. Mice were immunized with a total of 10 wild-type or mutant Trx-G proteins and challenged...
