title: gp96-peptide vaccination of mice against intracellular bacteria.
abstract: This work demonstrates that gp96 preparations isolated from cells infected with intracellular bacteria induce cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses and confer protection. Our findings extend previous reports on the immunogenicity of gp96-associated peptides to antigens derived from intracellular bacteria. Immunization with gp96 may therefore represent a promising vaccination strategy against bacterial pathogens.
