New vaccine strategies against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli: I: DNA vaccines against the CFA/I fimbrial adhesin

Stimulation of the mammalian immune system by administration of plasmid DNA has been shown to be an important approach for vaccine development against several pathogens. In the present study we investigated the use of DNA vaccines to induce immune responses against an enteric bacterial pathogen, ent...
