摘要
Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin and cholera toxin are potent mucosal immunogens and adjuvants in animal models. Nontoxic mutants retaining adjuvant activity are useful tools to dissect the mechanism of mucosal adjuvanticity and promising candidates far development of human vaccines and immunotherapy. Clinical trials are expected to proceed in the near future.
