Abstract: An electronic component comprises a plurality of layers at least two of which comprise predominantly organic functional materials with improved through-plating through certain of the layers. The through-plating is formed in one embodiment by a disruption element on a first lower layer which results in a void in the subsequently applied layers, which void is filled with a material which may be conductive to form the through plating. In a second embodiment, the through plating is formed on the first lower layer prior to the subsequent application of the other layers, in the form of a free-standing truncated frusto-conical raised portion, and forms a disruption or non-welting element for the subsequently applied other layers, formed on the first lower layer and which are engaged with and surround the through plating after their application.

Abstract: Seven polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were characterized for their ability to react specifically with either conformational or non-conformational epitopes of the HPV-1 virion. Using these antibodies, it was shown that the HPV-1 L1 protein (when expressed by an SV40 vector in cos cells) displayed conformational epitopes characteristic of intact viral particles. In addition, the L1 capsid protein was translocated normally into cell nuclei, was of appropriate size (57kD), and could be isolated in native form by immunoprecipitation techniques. Most importantly, the screening of expressed papillomavirus capsid proteins for reactivity with conformation-dependent antibodies represents a new, general methodology for ensuring that such proteins will be suitable for use in vaccine development or in the serologic detection/typing of human papillomavirus infections.
