Vaccination-induced neutralizing antibodies in immunocompetent hosts correlate with protection against rickettsiae
Abstract We previously demonstrated that a single-dose immunization with a live-attenuated Rickettsia parkeri mutant 3A2 confers complete protection against murine spotted fever rickettsioses. In this study, we investigated whether vaccination-elicited serum antibodies serve as immune correlates of...
