Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel hepatitis A virus antigen gene and transformed plants with the gene, more particularly to a novel hepatitis A virus antigen gene synthesized by optimization of a genetic code, a recombinant vector containing the gene and plants transformed with the recombinant vector. According to the invention, the use of a synthesized antigen gene of hepatitis A virus makes it possible to prepare recombinant hepatitis A virus vaccine materials at a high efficiency, and transformed plants expressing a hepatitis A virus antigen are useful as functional food materials and orally administrated vaccine materials.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a construct for expressing rotavirus complex antigens having heterologous virus antigen epitopes, to a vaccine composition comprising the rotavirus complex antigens, to rotavirus-like particles comprising the rotavirus complex antigens, and to a vaccine composition comprising the rotavirus-like particles. According to the present invention, complex antigens comprising both the rotavirus antigens and epitopes of heterologous viruses different from the rotaviruses, and rotavirus-like particles comprising the complex antigens can be mass-produced at low costs. The method of the present invention can be applied to the study and development of novel complex vaccines against rotaviruses and heterologous viruses.
