Live Shigella flexneri 2a and Shigella sonnei Phase I vaccine candidate strains with two virulence-reducing markers were constructed through stepwise incorporation of weakly attenuating purine auxotrophy with subsequent rifampicin-resistance (RNA polymerase) mutation to yield optimal attenuation. These vaccine candidate strains showed an unaltered plasmid profile; did not cause keratoconjunctivitis in the Sereny test, while being excreted for a short but still marked period and providing partial protection from wild-strain infection; exhibited for guinea-pig conjunctival epithelia, HeLa cells and rat enterocytes a maintained invasiveness with reduced intracellular multiplication with little, if any, reversible cell damage; and produced, just as their ultrasonic lysates, no exudative reaction in the rabbit gut loop test.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
