2004 OCT 18 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- DNA vaccination protected mice against challenge with Bacillus anthracis STI spores.
According to published research from Germany, "Immune responses against the protective antigen (PA) of Bacillus anthracis are known to confer immunity against anthrax. We evaluated the efficacy of genetic vaccination with plasmid vectors encoding PA, in protecting mice from a lethal challenge with B. anthracis STI spores. BALB/c and A/J mice were immunized via gene gun inoculation, using eukaryotic expression vectors with different cellular targeting signals for the encoded antigen."
"The vector pSecTag PA83, encoding the full-length …
