Efficient tuberculosis treatment in mice using chemotherapy and immunotherapy with the combined DNA vaccine encoding Ag85B, MPT-64 and MPT-83.

abstract：:To induce RNA interference (RNAi), either small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are directly introduced into the cell or short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) are expressed from a DNA vector. At present, shRNAs are commonly synthesized by RNA polymerase III (Pol III) promoters of the H1 and U6 RNAs. In this study, we designed and cha...
