  • VIRUS LIKE PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20090239265
    Abstract: An isolated polynucleotides comprising a HBsAg-S coding sequence that is adapted to receive an insert coding sequence, within a part of the HBsAg-S coding sequence that encodes an exposed site within the external loop of HBsAgS, and still encode a HBsAg-S that is able to assemble into a VLP. Proteins encoded by the polynucleotides, recombinant VLP's and various uses thereof are also described.
