Expression and Immunogenicity of M2e Peptide of Avian Influenza Virus H5N1 Fused to Ricin Toxin B Chain Produced in Duckweed Plants
The amino acid sequence of the extracellular domain of the virus-encoded M2 matrix protein (peptide M2e) is conserved among all subtypes of influenza A strains, enabling the development of a broad-range vaccine against them. We expressed M2e from avian influenza virus A/chicken/Kurgan/5/2005 (H5N1) in nuclear-transformed duckweed plants for further development of an avian influenza vaccine. The...
متن کاملEvaluating the Immunogenicity of Avian Influenza Virus Nucleoprotein
Background: Influenza viruses cause Avian Influenza (AI) is a serious infectious disease belonging to type A Orthomyxovirus. A viral RNA synthesis is due to an interaction of the nucleoprotein (NP) with the viral polymerase. In the present study, we have evaluated the immunogenicity of avian influenza virus nucleoprotein. Materials & Methods: An Influenza Virus N9H2 subtype A/Chicken I...
متن کاملProduction of H5N1 Influenza Virus Matrix Protein 2 Ectodomain Protein Bodies in Tobacco Plants and in Insect Cells as a Candidate Universal Influenza Vaccine
The spread of influenza A viruses is partially controlled and prevented by vaccination. The matrix protein 2 ectodomain (M2e) is the most conserved sequence in influenza A viruses, and is therefore a good potential target for a vaccine to protect against multiple virus subtypes. We explored the feasibility of an M2e-based universal influenza A vaccine candidate based on the highly pathogenic av...
متن کاملIncreased Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy of Influenza M2e Fused to a Tetramerizing Protein
The ectodomain of the matrix 2 protein (M2e) of influenza A virus represents an attractive target for developing a universal influenza A vaccine, with its sequence being highly conserved amongst human variants of this virus. With the aim of targeting conformational epitopes presumably shared by diverse influenza A viruses, a vaccine (M2e-NSP4) was constructed linking M2e (in its consensus seque...
متن کاملCloning of the Gene Encoding M2e of Influenza Virus in B. subtilis
Background and Aims: The ectodomain of matrix protein of influenza virus is a weak immunogen that is highly conserved among all subtypes of influenza A virus. Tandem repeats of these genes along with linker were used to enhance immunogenicity of M2e protein and so it can be served as a universal vaccine in both humans and livestock. Materials and Methods: In this study, the sequences of extra-d...
