Abstract

The immunological and genetic properties of Francisella tularensis vaccine strain are discussion with regard to its use to produce recombinant vaccines. This bacterium-based vector is supposed to be an excellent object for investigating the role of protective antigens in the development of immunity against intracellular bacteria.
