Pathways for potentiation of immunogenicity during adjuvant-assisted immunizations with Plasmodium falciparum major merozoite surface protein 1.

abstract：:Ers has been qualified as the PrfA-like transcriptional regulator of Enterococcus faecalis. In a previous study we reported that Ers is important for the survival within macrophages of this opportunist pathogenic bacterium. In the present work we have used proteomic and microarray expression profiling of E. faecalis J...
