A Modified Variant of <i>Fasciola hepatica</i> FhSAP-2 (mFhSAP-2) as a Recombinant Vaccine Candidate Induces High-Avidity IgG2c Antibodies and Enhances T Cell Activation in C57BL/6 Mice

A Modified Variant of <i>Fasciola hepatica</i> FhSAP-2 (mFhSAP-2) as a Recombinant Vaccine Candidate Induces High-Avidity IgG2c Antibodies and Enhances T Cell Activation in C57BL/6 Mice

Background/Objectives: In the past, FhSAP-2, an 11.5 kDa recombinant protein belonging to the <i>Fasciola hepatica</i> saposin-like/NK-lysin family, has been shown to induce over 60% partial protection in immunized rabbits and mice when challenged with <i>F. hepatica</i> meta...
