Strategies for the Stimulation of Th Cell Subsets
Our understanding of the role of T cell subsets and cytokines in protective immunity is based on evidence that CD4+ T cells can be separated into subsets on the basis of the profile of cytokines they produce. ...

Immunogenicity of Lipopolysaccharide Derived from Brucella abortus: Potential as a Carrier in Development of Vaccines for AIDS
In view of its unique ability to stimulate human B cells, we have considered using Brucella abortus (BA) as a carrier for human vaccines. Recently we showed that HIV-1 coupled to BA, but not unconjugated HIV-1...
