Animals vaccinated with ready antigens produce specific antibodies against the antigen. By merging antigen proteins into a tetraspanin-derived anchor membrane-bound protein, the scientists produced fusion proteins that are shown predominantly on the surface of human cells. The exposition of proteins on the surface by a carrier protein induces the production of antibodies directed against the appropriate, pertinent, antigens.
Animals inoculated with prepared antigens produce specific antibodies versus the antigen. By fusing antigen proteins into a tetraspanin-derived anchor membrane-bound protein, the scientists developed blend proteins that are displayed predominantly on the surface area of human cells. The exposition of proteins on the surface by a carrier protein causes the production of antibodies directed against the proper, appropriate, antigens. The developed anchor protein permits researchers to target a particular illness for immunization functions without the requirement to cleanse the antigen.
