An innovative means of investigating membrane proteins produced by a pair of highly pathogenic organisms has been the focus of recent study. The research team showed that DNA-based genetic immunization, using a device known as a gene gun, could successfully express membrane proteins in mice and induce the animals to produce a range of critical antibodies to bacterial and viral targets.
