First Directly Sequenced Genome of Hepatitis E Virus from the Serum of a Patient from the United Kingdom
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 is endemic in the United Kingdom but the complete sequence of HEV, generated directly from a clinical sample, is lacking. We report a near full-length genome sequence of genotype 3 HEV from the serum of a patient with acute hepatitis.

متن کاملExpression of Hepatitis B Virus Core Antigen in Native and Fusion Forms in E. coli
DNA coding for the core antigen from hepatitis B Virus (HBcAg) was amplified, cloned and propagated in E. coli. The core protein was expressed in E. coli and the product was readily detected by Western blot. This protein can be used as a diagnostic material in serum screening tests. To increase the level of expression of this antigen in bacteria, two plasmids were constructed in which the gene ...
