Vaccination With Recombinant Filamentous fd Phages Against Parasite Infection Requires TLR9 Expression

Recombinant filamentous fd bacteriophages (rfd) expressing antigenic peptides were shown to induce cell-mediated immune responses in the absence of added adjuvant, being a promising delivery system for vaccination. Here, we tested the capacity of rfd phages to protect against infection with the huma...
