Epitope M apping of Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Antigen from a Phage Peptide Library by Using Imm obilized Specific M onocionai Antibody
Abstract: Using HCV NS3 m onoclonal antibody as selective molecule, a 12 m ar phage peptide library was biopanned and positive clones were selected by ELISA . com petition assay and DN A sequencing. Eleven positive clones were chosen for DN A sequencing.From the experim ent and sequencing com par— ison results,one epitope was confirm ed as m imotope of HCV N S3.HCV N S3 m im otope was obtained by phage peptide library screening.The result provides a new approach for HCV therapy and vaccine developm ent.
