A series of plasmid DNA constructs containing the 45W antigen gene from Taenia ovis were used to investigate the impact of antigen dimerisation on the humoral immune response to genetic immunisation. Genes encoding dimeric 45W were generated via fusion to the hinge region of human IgG3 (hIg). This region was selected because it is compact and contains 11 inter-chain disulphide-bridges. The DNA encoding...
The immunogenicity of DNA vaccines encoding three different Taenia ovis host-protective antigens was compared in mice and sheep. DNA vaccines encoding the 45W, 18k and 16k antigens of T. ovis were constructed. The ability of DNA vaccines encoding the 45W and 18k genes to express antigen was confirmed by Western blotting of transfected Cos-7 cells. BALB/c mice were vaccinated intramuscularly with 45W,...
The antibody response to DNA vaccines expressing secreted, membrane bound and non-secreted forms of the same antigen was investigated. The antigen gene selected for these studies was the full length 45W antigen gene from Taenia ovis. This gene encodes a host protective membrane bound antigen with a native secretion signal at the amino terminus and a hydrophobic anchor domain at the carboxyl terminus...
