Abstract excerpt
To improve the immunogenicity of epitopes from the envelope protein of HIV-1, we have developed gene gun-delivered subunit DNA vaccines by inserting the sequences encoding the V3 region into the hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope gene, often called the surface antigen (HBsAg). We have examined the possibility of modifying the immune response to V3 by introducing modifications into the carrier HBsAg in gene gun DNA...
