Protection against<i>Leptospira interrogans</i>Sensu Lato Challenge by DNA Immunization with the Gene Encoding Hemolysin-Associated Protein 1
22 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
The use of DNA constructs encoding leptospiral proteins is a promising new approach for vaccination against leptospirosis. In previous work we determined that immunization with hemolysis-associated protein 1 (Hap1) (LipL32) expressed by adenovirus induced significant protection against a virulent Leptospira challenge in gerbils. To avoid the use of the adenovirus vector, we checked for clinical protection against...
