pubmed:abstractText
A Gag protein segment of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) has been fused to a C terminally truncated core antigen of hepatitis B virus (HBcAg) using an E. coli expression system. Fusion of 90 amino acids of HIV-1 Gag protein to HBcAg still allowed the formation of capsids presenting on their surface epitopes of HIV-1 core protein, whereas fusion of 317, 189, or 100 amino acids of Gag prevented self-assembly of chimeric particles. Mice immunized with recombinant particles emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA) or aluminium hydroxide developed high anti-HBcAg titers. However, anti-HIVp24 antibodies were detected only in mice inoculated with immunogen emulsified with CFA.
