EXPRESSION OF HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIGEN IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
The genome of HB V virus of serotype ayw cloned in pBR322 and expression shuttle vector p YES2 were used for construction of the HBsAg chimeric genes and their expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two recombinant plasmids were constructed. One of them contained the coding sequences for the major polypeptide of surface antigen. Another construct carried the major polypeptide with the pre-S2 a...
متن کاملStructural analysis of hepatitis B surface antigen by monoclonal antibodies.
A method has been developed for the analysis of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antigenic structure at the molecular level that creates "fingerprints" or "signatures" of various hepatitis B viral (HBV) strains. This technique employs high affinity IgM and IgG monoclonal antibodies (anti-HBs) directed against distinct and separate determinants on HBsAg. In performing this antigenic structura...
متن کاملEpidemiological studies of hepatitis B: Preliminary report on adjuvant potential of Calotropis gigantea and Ficus religiosa against hepatitis B vaccine containing surface antigen
Background and aims: The frequency of chronic hepatitis B virus infection varies totally in different part of the world but it could be categorized as high, intermediate and low endimicity. In this regard, development of safe and effective vaccines against infectious diseases especially hepatitis B virus that are still required for emerging new pathogens, re-emerging old pathog...
متن کاملIgE antibody against hepatitis B surface antigen in mice.
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs antigen) was examined for elicitation of IgE production by injection into mice. The Prausnitz-Küstner (PK)-type skin test in the rat was employed for detection of IgE antibody to HBs antigen, because no sufficient purified HBs antigen was available as the challenging antigen for the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) test in rats. The positive PK test was consi...
متن کاملTarget antigen, age, and duration of antigen exposure independently regulate immunoglobulin G subclass switching in malaria.
The isotype/subclass of immunoglobulin determines antibody function, but rather little is known about factors that direct class switching in vivo. To evaluate factors that might influence the maturation of the antibody response during infection, we conducted a seroepidemiological study of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass response to four merozoite-associated antigens of Plasmodium falciparum...
