Over Expression of Influenza Virus M2 Protein in Prokaryotic System
Background and Aims: Influenza A virus of Orthomyxoviridae family is able to create pandemic influenza. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection. Matrix protein 2 (M2) is a homotetramer ion channel with 97 amino acids length and highly conserved among influenza viruses and is considered for development of a universal influenza vaccine. Materials and Methods: We...
متن کاملImmunologic Evaluation of DNA Vaccine Encoding Influenza Virus M2 Gene in Type A- Influenza Mice Model
Abstract Background and Objective: The M2 gene expressing the conserved protein in influenza virus can be used to make a single-dose vaccine with permanent immunity. Material and Methods: The mice were allocated to one case group immunized with pcDNA3-M2 and two control groups with pcDNA and PBS, in three dozes with interval of two weeks. Two weeks after the last injection, Cellular imm...

متن کاملInfluenza A Virus M2 Ion Channel Protein:
A structure-function analysis of the influenza A virus M2 ion channel protein was performed. The M2 protein of human influenza virus A/Udorn/72 and mutants containing changes on one face of the putative a helix of the M2 transmembrane (TM) domain, several of which lead to amantadine resistance when found in virus, were expressed in oocytes of Xenopus laevis. The membrane currents of oocytes exp...
متن کاملPassively transferred monoclonal antibody to the M2 protein inhibits influenza A virus replication in mice.
The M2 protein of influenza A virus is expressed on the surfaces of infected cells, and a monoclonal antibody to this protein inhibits plaque enlargement of sensitive influenza A viruses without reducing plaque titer (S.L. Zebedee and R.A. Lamb, J. Virol. 62:2762-2772, 1988). In the current study, passively transferred monoclonal antibody to M2 reduced the level of replication of influenza A vi...
