Characterization of structural and immunological properties of a fusion protein between flagellin from Salmonella and lumazine synthase from Brucella [PDF]
Aiming to combine the flexibility of Brucella lumazine synthase (BLS) to adapt different protein domains in a decameric structure and the capacity of BLS and flagellin to enhance the immunogenicity of peptides that are linked to their structure, we ...
