Toward Tuberculosis Vaccine Development: Recommendations for Nonhuman Primate Study Design.

abstract：:The unpredictable nature of bioterrorism and the absence of real-time detection systems have highlighted the need for an efficient postexposure therapy for Bacillus anthracis infection. One approach is passive immunization through the administration of antibodies that mitigate the biological action of anthrax toxin. W...
