Co-immunization with plasmids coding the full length and a soluble form of glycoprotein D of HSV-2 induces protective cellular and humoral immune response in mice
At present, the significance of antibody for protection of the female genital tract against infection with HSV-2 remains controversial. In the present study, the ability of a DNA vaccine encoding different forms of glycoprotein D (gD) of herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) to induce simultaneously cellul...
