  • Patent number: 10987418
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polypeptide carrier for presenting a target polypeptide, and use thereof. In particular, the invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule, comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide carrier, and being used for insertion of a nucleotide sequence encoding a target polypeptide. In addition, the invention further relates to a recombinant protein comprising the polypeptide carrier and a target polypeptide. Furthermore, the invention further relates to use of the nucleic acid molecule and the recombinant protein. In addition, the invention further relates to a vaccine or a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing, alleviating or treating HBV infection or a disease associated with HBV infection (e.g., hepatitis B), comprising a recombinant protein comprising the polypeptide carrier of the invention and an epitope from HBV.

  • Patent number: 9499591
    Abstract: Provided is a truncated L1 protein of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 52 which, compared to a wild type HPV52 L1 protein, is truncated by 27-42 amino acids at the N-terminal. Also provided are a coding sequence of the truncated HPV52 L1 protein, a virus-like particle (VLP) comprising the protein, and a method of preparing the protein and the VLP using an E. coli expression system. The truncated HPV52 L1 protein and an assembled VLP can be used to prevent an HPV52 infection and a disease caused by HPV52 infection, such as cervical cancer.
