The surface antigens of hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) has been synthesized in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using an expression vector that employs the 5'-flanking region of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I as a promotor to transcribe surface antigen coding sequences. The protein synthesized in yeast is assembled into particles having properties similar to the 22-nm particles secreted by human cells.
通过使用一种表达载体,利用酵母乙醇脱氢酶I的5'侧翼区域作为启动子来转录表面抗原编码序列,已在酿酒酵母中合成了乙型肝炎病毒的表面抗原(HBsAg)。在酵母中合成的蛋白质组装成具有与人细胞分泌的22纳米颗粒相似特性的颗粒。
