Vaccination with Trypomastigote Surface Antigen 1-Encoding Plasmid DNA Confers Protection against LethalTrypanosoma cruziInfection
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
DNA vaccination was evaluated with the experimental murine model of Trypanosoma cruzi infection as a means to induce antiparasite protective immunity, and the trypomastigote surface antigen 1 (TSA-1), a target of anti-T. cruzi antibody and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses, was used as the model antigen. Following the intramuscular immunization...
