THE COEXPRESSION OF THE preS1(1-42) AND THE CORE(1-144)ANTIGEN OF HBV IN E.coli

摘要

Objective.To study the therapeutic T cell vaccine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B by improving the cellular immunization of HBsAg vaccine with the coexpression of the preS1(1-42)and the Core(1-144)anti-gen of HBV in E.coli.Methods.The genes of HBcAg (1-144)and preS1(1-42)were amplified and fused by PCR.This fused gene was inserted in the prokaryotic expression vector pET-11d and expre ssed in E.coli.Results.It was showed by SDS-PAGE that the pr otein molecular weight of the coexpr ession product was about 20kD,20%of all bacteria prote in.The monoclonal antibodies again st core and preS1antibody could re-act with this fused protein by Western-blot technique respectively.The fused gene was verified by sequencin g.Under the immune electron microscop y,this fused protein is typical particles of HBcAg but in an aggregated form.Conclusion.The results might aid for studying T c ell immunotherapeutic vaccine for c hronic hepatitis B.
