Gene Synthesis> | … The recombinant HA stem gene was synthesized (Genscript) using the sequence of mini-HA#4900 (Impagliazzo et al., 2015), which was based on H1N1 A/Brisbane/59/2007, and then constructed into pPicZA vector (Invitrogen) … | Get A Quote |
The development of a universal influenza vaccine has become a major effort to combat the high mutation rate of influenza. To explore the use of the highly conserved stem region of hemagglutinin (HA) as a universal vaccine, we produced HA-stem-based protein using yeast expression systems. The glycosylation effects on the immunogenicity and protection activities were investigated. The yield of the A/Brisbane/59/2007 HA stem produced from Pichia pastoris reached 100 mg/l. The immunogenicity of HA stem proteins in various glycoforms was further investigated and compared. All glycoforms of the HA stem protein can induce cross-reactive antibody responses, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)-mediated... More
