Abstract excerpt
The genus Henipavirus in the family Paramyxoviridae compromises two newly identified dangerous pathogens, Nipah virus and Hendra virus. Phosphoprotein of the two viruses is one of the major immunodominant antigens and the most divergent protein in the viral genomes. We have now expressed two pairs of truncated phosphoproteins of the two viruses in Escherichia coli in a soluble form using a vector tailored from...
