摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to a method whereby a humoral immune response is induced more efficiently in producing an antibody against an antigen protein by gene immunization. A fusion gene composed of a gene encoding the full-length of a part of the antigen protein or a gene encoding a chaperonin subunit or a chaperonin subunit linkage linked thereto is administered to express the fusion gene in the animal, thereby inducing a humoral immune response to an antigen protein by administering. An example of the chaperonin includes Escherichia coli GroEL. There is also provided with a composition for immunization, a method for producing an antibody, a method for producing a hybridoma, and a method for producing a monoclonal antibody.

The present invention provides a chaperonin-target protein complex and a method of producing the same, and a method of stabilizing the target protein, a method of immobilizing the target protein, a method of analyzing the structure of the target protein, a sustained-release formulation, and a method of producing an antibody against the target protein. The chaperonin-target protein complex in the present invention includes a fusion protein having a chaperonin subunit and an affinity tag linked to the chaperonin subunit via a peptide bond and a target protein for which the affinity tag shows a specific affinity, wherein the target protein is bound to the affinity tag by means of the specific affinity, thereby forming a chaperonin ring structure consisting of a plurality of chaperonin subunits. The chaperonin-target protein in the present invention stabilizes the target protein and surely immobilize on a carrier without causing any change in its stereostructure.

It is intended to provide an immunogen and a composition for immunological use by which a sufficient immune response is induced even by an antigen protein which has been considered unavailable to induce any effective immune responses for various reasons, and a method of producing an antibody using the same. The immunogen containing a fusion protein including the full-length or a part of a desired antigen protein and a folding factor or its subunit linked thereto via at least one peptide bond. Owing to the function of the folding factor, the antigen protein contained in the fusion protein is obtained as a soluble protein having a correct stereostructure. It is also possible to protect the antigen protein and from rapid decomposition in the blood of an animal having been inoculated therewith. The immunogen induces a higher immune response for an animal than an antigen protein alone. Examples of the folding factor include chaperonins and PPIases.
