  abstract = {<p>We have investigated the effect of subunit vaccines against infection with Mycobacterium leprae, employing DNA plasmids as the vaccine vectors, and the immunodominant 35 kDa protein of M. leprae as the candidate antigen. A DNA vaccine that expresses the M. leprae 35 kDa protein both stimulated interferon-gamma (IFN gamma)-secreting T cells in mice, and demonstrated protection against M. leprae-infection of mice.</p>},
