Genetic Immunization with Glycoprotein 63 cDNA Results in a Helper T Cell Type 1 Immune Response and Protection in a Murine Model of Leishmaniasis
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Genetic immunization is a promising gene therapy approach for the prevention and treatment of infectious disease. Plasmid DNA expressing genes of pathogens is directly introduced into host cells and specific cell-mediated and/or humoral immune responses are elicited against the encoded protein. Leishmaniasis is a significant world-wide health problem for which no vaccine exists. In susceptible animals, such as...
