Enhancing specific-antibody production to the ragB vaccine with GITRL that expand Tfh, IFN-γ(+) T cells and attenuates Porphyromonas gingivalis infection in mice.

Enhancing specific-antibody production to the ragB vaccine with GITRL that expand Tfh, IFN-γ(+) T cells and attenuates Porphyromonas gingivalis infection in mice.

The outer membrane protein RagB is one of the major virulence factors of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). In order to induce protective immune response against P. gingivalis infection, an mGITRL gene-linked ragB DNA vaccine (pIRES-ragB-mGITRL ) was constructed. Six-...
