Influence of three-dimensional structure on the immunogenicity of a peptide expressed on the surface of a plant virus
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The influence of peptide structure on immunogenicity has been investigated by constructing a series of cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) chimaeras expressing the 14 amino acid NIm-1A epitope from human rhinovirus 14 (HRV-14) at different positions on the capsid surface. Biochemical and crystallographic analysis of a CPMV/HRV chimaera expressing the NIm-1A epitope inserted into the betaC'-betaC" loop of the S protein...
