Abstract
Defined candidate human vaccines for treating infection by Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, have been developed. To facilitate evaluation of the vaccines' efficacy, the in vitro caspase-3 assay for cytotoxicity-neutralizing activity was modified and reevaluated. Immune serum-mediated caspase-3 neutralizing activity correlated with protection against infection in a nonhuman primate vaccine model of plague immunity.Entities:
