Abstract excerpt
The K88 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli are strongly immunogenic antigens that can be used to evoke protective immunity. To find out whether these fimbriae can be used as carriers for foreign epitopes, a highly variable region present in the primary structure of the different K88 var...
