Abstract

ABSTRACT Murine immunization with Trypanosoma cruzi KMP11-HSP70 fused genes but not the KMP11 gene alone elicited both an immunoglobulin G2a long-lasting humoral immune response against KMP11 protein and activation of CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for two KMP11 peptides containing A2 motifs. Moreover, protection against the parasite challenge was observed after immunization with the chimeric gene.
