[Secretory expression and biological activity analysis of an anti-H5 single-chain antibody from Pichia pastoris].

In our previous study, a panel of 52 broadly cross-reactive H5-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were generated and characterized. The 13D4, one of these MAbs, has been demonstrated to protect mice against lethal challenge by 4 strains of H5N1 avian influenza virus representing the currently prevailing genetic populations, clades 1, 2.1, 2.

[Production of human papillomavirus type 16 virus-like particles and its immunogenicity].

HPV16 L1 gene was amplified from HPV16 positive vaginal secretion sample by PCR, and inserted into pTO-T7 to obtain the recombinant expression vector pTO-T7-HPV16-L1. Then, the pTO-T7-HPV16-L1 was transformed into E. coil strain ER2566 and the recombinant protein HPV16 L1 was expressed in soluble form.
