Peptide Synthesis> | ... The peptide from domain III, GQGKAHNGRLITANP, was commercially synthesized at GenScript (USA) by solid phase peptide synthesis and was coupled with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) to make the peptide antigen adequately large to be immunogenic. ... | Get A Quote |
Dengue virus (DENV) is an arthropod-borne human pathogen that represents a severe public health threat in both endemic and non-endemic regions. So far, there is no licensed vaccine or specific drugs available for dengue fever. A fifteen-amino-acid-long peptide that includes the NGR motif was chemically synthesized and conjugated with keyhole limpet hemocyanin. A standard immunization protocol was followed for the production of polyclonal antibodies by immunizing rabbits against the synthetic peptide. The immune response elicited high-titer polyclonal antibodies with the reactivity of the anti-peptide antibody against both synthetic peptide and four serotypes of DENV confirmed by DOT-ELISA. Neutralizing activity... More
