Immune response and protective efficacy of mannosylated polyethylenimine (PEI) as an antigen delivery vector, administered with a Streptococcus agalactiae DNA vaccine in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

This study examined the effectiveness of a DNA vaccine for S. agalactiae that was delivered by mannose-based polyethyleneimine (Man-PEI). The results showed that Man-PEI/pcDNA-Sip stimulated a higher serum antibody titer compared to control or other vaccine groups (p < 0.
