15 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
E7 oncoprotein of human papillomavirus-16 (HPV-16) is constitutively produced in cervical cancer (CxCa) and is a good candidate for the design of therapeutic vaccines. In this work, the nisin-controlled expression system was used to display the E7 protein at the cell surface of the food-grade Gram-positive bacterium Lactococcus lactis. An efficient cell wall anchoring of E7 was obtained. Intranasal administration...
