Design and Construction of a Eukaryotic Cloning Vector Encoding the mpt51 Gene of .

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death by infectious diseases worldwide, and especially prevalent in developing countries. Several vaccines against TB have been developed, recently. The aim of the present study was to design and construct a cloning vector encoding gene.

Designing and Construction of a Cloning Vector Encoding Fragments of as a DNA Vaccine Candidate.

Background & Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of death around the world. Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) is the only vaccine used in TB prevention that has a protective effect in children, but its effectiveness declines in adults. Design and development of new vaccines is the most effective way against TB.
