Development of a Brucella subunit vaccine
Dependencies
Next steps
Subunit Vaccines
Research Question
- The development of an effective subunit vaccine for use on its own or in combination with other Brucella vaccines in a prime-boost combination
Solution Routes
- Establishing the immune responses to the various subunits
- Challenge experiments involving animals vaccinated with subunit candidate vaccines that resulted in interesting immune responses.
- Establishing that there isn’t interference between the various antigens
Dependencies
- The availability of suitable adjuvants to stimulate strong cell-mediated immune responses
- Identifying expression systems that give correct Antigen conformation
