Presentation of peptides from Bacillus anthracis protective antigen on Tobacco Mosaic Virus as an epitope targeted anthrax vaccine

Highlights • Anthrax peptides were expressed on Tobacco Mosaic Virus as experimental vaccines. • Vaccines showed cross-reactivity to antibodies raised against native toxin. • Immunized mice developed cross-reactive antibodies to native toxin. • Immunization failed to protect mice or cells in vitro a...
