Synthesis and characterization of a protective peptide-based vaccine against Schistosoma mansoni.
|
| description: |
This is a natural variant within this source species. 9B-peptide1, GFTTNEERYNVFAE, is another variant.
Mice in 3 groups of 6-9 were challenged with 70-90 cercariae one month after the last booster and worm burden in the liver was assessed 6-7 weeks later. Worm burden reduction was minimal, only 0-10%.
