RESUMO

Recombinant adenylate cyclase toxoids are shown to deliver inserted foreign CD4+-T-cell epitopes into the major histocompatibility complex class II presentation pathway, inducing a specific CD4+-T-cell response in vivo and yielding in vitro stimulation of specific CD4+ T cells at a 100-times-higher molar efficiency than the free peptide containing the epitope.
