Abstract: Vaccines against Herpes Simplex virus containing recombinant polypeptides which are cross-reactive with glycoprotein D of the virus, methods for their production using recombinant DNA techniques in yeast, and methods for the use of the vaccine are provided. E. coli strains HB101 containing plasmids pYHS 109 and pYHS118 were deposited at the American Type Culture Collection on Jul. 11, 1984, and granted accession nos. 39762 and 39763, respectively.

Abstract: A DNA having a base sequence coding for human epidermal growth factor has been synthesized in blocks, and cloned. Novel recombinant DNA transfer vectors containing said cloned DNA have been constructed. The codon usage of the sequence reflects the codon bias of yeast. The DNA sequence is useful for the large scale synthesis of human epidermal growth factor in yeast cells or microorganisms transformed by said recombinant DNA transfer vectors.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for efficient production of polypeptides having insulin activity. The proinsulin gene is joined to secretion and processing signals for expression and secretion in yeast. The product may be obtained in enhanced yield in the nutrient medium.Cell line pyinse was deposited at the A.T.C.C. on Apr. 6, 1983 and given Accession No. 20670.

Abstract: Methods for diagnosis employing polynucleotides having oligonucleotide sequences substantially homologous to a sequence of interest, where the presence or absence of hybridization at a predetermined stringency provides for the release of a label from a support. Particularly, various techniques are employed for binding a label to a support, whereupon cleavage of either a single or double strand, a label may be released from a support, where the release of the label can be detected as indicative of the presence of a particular oligonucleotide sequence in a sample. The method finds use in diagnosis of disease, genetic monitoring, and analyzing nucleic acid mixtures.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the efficient production in yeast of polypeptides which are immunologically cross-reactive with glycoprotein D of the herpes simplex virus. Synthetic DNA fragments encoding for a portion of the glycoprotein, and the naturally-occurring gene encoding for the glycoprotein and portions thereof, are expressed on plasmids in yeast. Secretion may be provided by including a secretory leader and signal processing sequence derived from the .alpha.-factor gene. Alternatively, the genes may be expressed intracellularly under the transcriptional control of a promoter derived from a gene in the yeast glycolytic pathway.E. coli strains HB101 containing plasmids pYHS109 and pYHS118 were deposited at the American Type Culture Collection on July 11, 1984, and granted accession nos. 39762 and 39763, respectively.
