Abstract excerpt
Salmonella protease mutants, clpP and especially htrA, are candidate live oral vaccines in humans. A functional and mature immune system is, however, required to cope with them in mice. Here, we test the cytokine response of highly susceptible germ-free pigs to infection with Salmonella Typhimurium clpP and htrA mutants. Cytokine levels (IL-4, IL-10, IL-18 and IFN-gamma) were measured by ELISA in plasma and...
