The gp63 gene of Leishmania major was transformed into the AroA- vaccine strain of Salmonella typhimurium (SL3261). The construct (SL3261-gp63), which stably expresses the gp63 Ag in vitro, was used to immunize CBA mice by the oral route. Spleen cells from mice inoculated with SL3261-gp63 developed antibody and proliferative T cell response to L. major. They did not express detectable delayed-type...
