摘要 |
The present invention provides nucleic acids, proteins and vectors for a method of nucleic acid, including DNA, immunization of a host, including humans, against disease caused by infection by a strain of <i>Chlamydia</i>, specifically <i>C. pneumoniae</i>. The method employs a vector containing a nucleotide sequence encoding a myosin heavy chain of a strain of <i>Chlamydia pneumoniae</i> and a promoter to effect expression of the myosin heavy chain gene product in the host. Modifications are possible within the scope of this invention. |
