Transcutaneous Immunization with Toxin-Coregulated Pilin A Induces Protective Immunity against Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor Challenge in Mice

Toxin-coregulated pilin A (TcpA) is the main structural subunit of a type IV bundle-forming pilus of Vibrio cholerae, the cause of cholera. Toxin-coregulated pilus is involved in formation of microcolonies of V. cholerae at the intestinal surface, and strains of V. cholerae deficient in TcpA are att...
