Description
Description: Recombinant dengue 2 premembrane is a whole length peptide expressed from E. coil with 18kDa in size. PreM is considered as a signal peptide responsible for dengue envelope translocation in cells. Experiment showed it can elicit protective immune response, it is considered as a potentialtarget for vaccine development. Recombinant dengue 2 PreM is fused with a 6xHis tag.
Introduction: Caused by one of four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur. In cell culture experiments and mice Morpholino antisense oligos have shown specific activity against Dengue virus
