DNA-mediated immunization in a transgenic mouse model of the hepatitis B surface antigen chronic carrier state.
29 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice expressing the sequences coding for the envelope proteins of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the liver have been used as a model of the HBV chronic carrier state. We evaluated the possibility of inducing a specific immune response to the viral envelope antigens and thus potentially controlling chronic HBV infection. Using HBV-specific DNA-mediated immunization in this transgenic model, we show that...
