Humoral and cell-mediated immunity in mice to a 17-kilodalton lipoprotein of Francisella tularensis expressed by Salmonella typhimurium
1 Jul 1992
Abstract excerpt
A 17-kDa lipoprotein, TUL4, of the facultative intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis is one of several membrane proteins that induce an in vitro response in T cells from F. tularensis-primed humans. A DNA fragment of the live vaccine strain F. tularensis LVS encoding TUL4 was cloned into Salmonella typhimurium chi 4072, an attenuated delta cya delta crp mutant. Expression of the protein by the...
