Gene Synthesis> | … The LTB-EBOV gene was produced by Genscript (Piscataway, NJ) and subsequently subcloned into the pBI121 binary vector downstream of the CaMV 35S promoter following conventional cloning procedures to yield the expression vector named pBI-LTB-EBOV … | Get A Quote |
An antigenic protein targeting two epitopes from the Zaire ebolavirus GP1 protein was expressed in plant cells rendering an antigen capable of inducing humoral responses in mouse when administered subcutaneously or orally. The 2014 Ebola outbreak made clear that new treatments and prophylactic strategies to fight this disease are needed. Since vaccination is an intervention that could achieve the control of this epidemic disease, exploring the production of new low-cost vaccines is a key path to consider; especially in developing countries. In this context, plants are attractive organisms for the synthesis and delivery of subunit vaccines. This study aimed at producing a chimeric protein named LTB-EBOV, b... More
