The efficacy of a live Francisella tularensis vaccine strain to cause nonspecific immunity
toward experimental legionellosis and listeriosis was studied. Immunisation with tularemia …

Immunization of Balb/c mice with Francisella tularensis vaccine strain 15/10 conferred
significant protection against subsequent listerial infection. Since immunostimulatory …

A monoclonal antibody (mAb) prepared against the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Francisella
tularensis was inoculated into mice 2 h prior to challenge with 1000 LD 50 F. tularensis, the …

A crude outer membrane preparation from Francisella tularensis Live Vaccine Strain (LVS)
was used to immunize mice. Immunized mice were completely protected from a F. tularensis …

The relative role that humoral immunity plays in protection against infection with the
intracellular bacterium, Francisella tularensis, remains controversial. Cellular immunity is …

Evidence suggests that cellular immunity plays the dominant role in protection against
tularemia, although humoral immunity appears to play a role in infections caused by …

We have established a model of experimentally-induced tularemia in mice, using the live
vaccine strain of Francisella tularensis. A sublethal, intravenous inoculation of this organism …

Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularaemia, a disease which occurs naturally
in some countries in the northern hemisphere. Recently, there has been a high level of …

T Studies were made of the me chanism of resistance induced by immunization of mice with
viable Francisella tularensis vac-cine (LVS) and to determine the feasibility of using …

Abstract A 17-kilodalton (kDa) protein of the facultative intracellular bacterium Francisella
tularensis is one of several membrane proteins that induce an in vitro response in T cells …
