Immunological Efficacy and Safety of Synthesized CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides
The technology for synthesis is described, and the adjuvant properties of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) are assessed. CpG-ODN sequences were generated according to the available sequences on an automati...

A method for differentiation of Bacillus anthracis strains and phylogenetically related species based on determination of the structural differences between chromosomal genes for biosynthesis of flagellin and methionine
Nucleotide sequence analysis of several genes responsible for definitive properties of the anthrax pathogen—motility and penicillinase activity—determined a chromosomal locus promising for interspecies differe...

Identification of differences in structure of methionine biosynthesis genes in Bacillus anthracis strains and phylogenetically related species of bacilli
Comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences in genes that encode synthesis of methionine metabolism enzymes in the Bacillus anthracis strains and closely related bacterial species was conducted. A 42-bp deletion...

Immunogenicity of recombinant Bacillus strains with a cloned gene for synthesis of the protective antigen of Bacillus anthracis
A hybrid plasmid pUB110PA-1, which functions stably in cells of Bacillus strains and contains the gene for synthesis of the protective antigen of the anthrax microbe, Bacillus anthracis, has been constructed. Rec...
