Stable expression of Gal/GalNAc lectin of <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> in transgenic chloroplasts and immunogenicity in mice towards vaccine development for amoebiasis
25 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast genetic engineering offers several advantages, including high levels of transgene expression, transgene containment via maternal inheritance and multigene engineering in a single transformation event. Entamoeba histolytica infects 50 million people, causing about 100,000 deaths annually, but there is no approved vaccine against this pathogen. LecA, a potential target for blocking amoebiasis, was...
