摘要:
Synthetic DNA molecules encoding the HPV58 L1 protein are provided. Specifically, the present invention provides polynucleotides encoding HPV58 L1 protein, wherein said polynucleotides are codon-optimized for high level expression in a yeast cell. The synthetic molecules may be used to produce HPV58 virus-like particles (VLPs), and to produce vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the HPV58 VLPs. The vaccines of the present invention provide effective imnunoprophylaxis against papillomavirus infection through neutralizing antibody and cell-mediated immunity and are also useful for treatment of existing HPV infections.
摘要:
Cell-mediated immune response to a papillomavirus infection can be induced by vaccination with DNA encoding papillomavirus E genes. E genes can both prevent the occurrence of papillomavirus disease, and treat disease states. Canine papillomavirus (COPV) E genes which are codon-optimized to enhance expression in host cells are also given.
摘要:
Synthetic DNA molecules encoding papillomavirus proteins are provided. The codons of the synthetic molecules are codons preferred by the projected host cell. The synthetic molecules may be used as a polynucleotide vaccine which provides effective immunoprophylaxis against papillomavirus infection through stimulation of neutralizing antibody and cell-mediated immunity.
摘要:

摘要:
The present invention relates a fluorescent multiplex PCR assay for detecting the presence of an HPV type in a sample using multiple fluorophores to simultaneously detect a plurality of HPV genes of the same HPV type, wherein the HPV type is selected from the group consisting of: HPV33, HPV35, HPV39, HPV51, HPV56, and HPV59. The present invention also relates to oligonucleotide primers and probes specific to said HPV types for use in the methods of the present invention.
