Gram-positive bacteria : vaccine vehicles for mucosal immunization /

Show other versions (1)

This book gives a very timely account of recent - partly unpublished - research on the development of gram-positive bacteria as vaccine delivery vehicles for mucosal immunization. The practical and theoretical considerations are discussed and the basic concepts behind the different approaches are co...
