pubmed:abstractText
Selected human sera can be used to identify disease-related peptide epitopes (mimotopes) displayed on bacteriophages. Parenteral administration of such recombinant phages is an effective route of immunization in different experimental animals, indicating that mimotopes could be an important source of leads for new vaccines. Here it is shown that intranasal or intragastric administration of phage in mice induces an immunological response both to the wild type proteins of the phage and to mimotopes displayed on them. Using mimotopes of human HBV surface antigen and of human HCV peptides, the authors show that the response induced by oral administration is specifically cross-reactive with the original antigen. These findings indicate that phage displaying selected mimotopes could be useful for the development of orally effective vaccines.
