 | | A DNA construct comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding interleukin-2 (IL-2), operably linked to a second nucleotide sequence encoding a leukotoxin, wherein said leukotoxin is characterized by having the amino acid sequence G-G-X-G-X-D, where X is K, D, V or N. The DNA construct of claim 1 wherein said IL-2 is bovine IL-2. |
 | | In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a DNA construct comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding a cytokine, or an active fragment thereof, operably linked to a second nucleotide sequence encoding at least one epitope of leukotoxin. |
 | | A DNA "coding sequence" or a "nucleotide sequence encoding" a particular protein, is a DNA sequence which is transcribed and translated into a polypeptide in vivo when placed under the control of appropriate regulatory sequences. |
