Protective efficacy and immune responses induced by a DNA vaccine encoding codon-optimized PPA1 against Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida in Japanese flounder

Highlights • Protective efficacy of DNA vaccine against pseudotuberculosis was investigated. • Wild-type and codon-optimized PPA1 gene were used as an antigen for the vaccine. • The codon optimization enhanced the immunogenicity of the DNA vaccine in fish. • The codon-optimized vaccine induced stron...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Protective efficacy of DNA vaccine against pseudotuberculosis was investigated. • Wild-type and codon-optimized PPA1 gene were used as an antigen for the vaccine. • The codon optimization enhanced the immunogenicity of the DNA vaccine in fish. • The codon-optimized vaccine induced strong protection against pseudotuberculosis.
