Identification of hepatitis A virus mimotopes by phage display, antigenicity and immunogenicity.
|
| description: |
The mimotope was selected using serum from a convalescent viral hepatitis A patient but has no sequence homology to hepatitis A virus VP1 or VP3 capsid proteins.
Mice immunized with the phage clone displaying the epitope produced a strong antibody response to HAV by day 42. The authors conclude that the epitope can adopt a conformation similar to a viral protein region.
