Abstract excerpt
We have described a new class of live attenuated salmonella vaccines harbouring lesions in htrA, a stress protein gene previously. The virulence and invasiveness of Salmonella htrA mutants was investigated in three models of increased susceptibility to Salmonella infection. These included BALB/c mice, either given sublethal whole body irradiation (350 R) or administered rabbit anti-TNF alpha antiserum, and...
