Patent application Serial Number 09/747,521 entitled ``Methods for Protection Against Lethal Infection with Bacillus Anthracis'' filed 21 December 2000. The present invention relates to the use selected genes from the pathogen Bacillus anthracis for constructing a plasmid or DNA- based vaccine which can be used to immunize susceptible hosts against the pathogenic effects of B. anthracis infection. Moreover, the invention describes the protective effects of immunization with DNA constructs encoding the Protective Antigen (PA) or the Lethal Factor (LF) and mutants thereof. Most importantly, the invention describes the complete protection of hosts following co-immunization of a host with PA and LF demonstrating a surprising synergistic effect. Lastly, the invention teaches the use of the synergistic effect of PA and/or LF genes for use as a general adjuvant for co-immunization with other DNA or protein based vaccines. DATES: Applications for an exclusive or partially exclusive license may be submitted at any time from the date of this notice.
