Influenza virus CTA1-3M2e-DD protein vaccine
Vaccine Information
  • Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0002980
  • Type: Subunit vaccine
  • Status: Research
  • Antigen: Influenza A virus (A/Puerto Rico/8/34(H1N1)) matrix protein 2 (M2)
  • M2 from Influenza A virus (A/Puerto Rico/8/34(H1N1)) gene engineering:
    • Type: Recombinant protein preparation
    • Description: The fusion proteins were expressed in E. coli DH5 cells, transformed with the expression vectors for the CTA1-DD, CTA1-M2e-DD or the CTA1-3M2e-DD fusion proteins, and grown in 500 ml cultures over night in SYPPG medium with 100 μg/ml carbenicillin, at 37 °C. The cells were harvested by centrifugation and the fusion proteins, produced as inclusion bodies, were washed before extraction by treatment with 8 M urea. After refolding the proteins by slowly diluting them 35–40x in Tris–HCl pH 7.4 at +4 °C, the fusion proteins were purified in two steps, by ion exchange and size exclusion chromatography. After concentration and sterile filtration the purified fusion proteins were stored in PBS at −80 °C until use (Eliasson et al., 2008).
