Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Prevalence among Pregnant Women in Rafsanjan City, Iran, 2003

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...

The preparations obtained by this method present the cells in random orientation, so that the profiles seen on electron microscopy fulfil the first criterion for morphometric analysis; quantitative studies can therefore be made of morphological changes that take place during the maturation of monocytes into macrophages. Reports have indicated that mononuclear phagocyte maturation is disordered ...
