摘要 |
The present invention provides 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>, employing a vector containing a nucleotide sequence encoding a hypothetical apoptosis inhibitor of a strain of <i>Chlamydia pneumoniae</i> and a promoter to effect expression of the hypothetical apoptosis inhibitor gene in the host. Modifications are possible within the scope of this invention. |
