Expression system

Expression system

Research Question

  1. Identify heterologous gene expression systems that can express recombinant Mmm antigens which resemble native immunogens.

Research Gaps and Challenges

  1. Lack of in vitro reagents and assays to guide immunogen design.
  2. Expression of proteins that resemble native antigens.

Solution Routes

  1. Express antigens in a non-virulent strain of mycoplasma.

Dependencies

  1. Identity of a range of candidate vaccine antigens.

State Of the Art

  1. A few experimental vaccine antigens have been identified.
