Detection of Antibodies to a Recombinant gag Protein Derived from Human Endogenous Retrovirus Clone 4-1 in Autoimmune Diseases
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
To investigate whether human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) contribute to autoimmune diseases, we prepared a recombinant p30gag protein derived from clone 4-1 of the HERV family, using a baculovirus-vector system. This p30gag protein (CA41B) was approximately 30 kDa, as expected, and reacted with antibodies for p30gag purified from both murine and feline leukemia virus. This result suggested that the antigenic...
