MULTIMERIC MULTIEPITOPE INFLUENZA VACCINES

摘要

An isolated polynucleotide encoding an influenza multi-epitope polypeptide, wherein the multi-epitope polypeptide comprises multiple copies of a plurality of influenza virus peptide epitopes wherein the polypeptide is B(X1ZX2Z . . . Xm)nB or B(X1)nZ(X2)nZ . . . (Xm)nB; wherein B is an optional sequence of 1-4 amino acid residues; n is at each occurrence independently an integer of 2-50; m is an integer of 3-15; each of X1, X2 . . . Xm is an influenza peptide epitope of 4-24 amino acid residues; and Z at each occurrence is a bond or a spacer of 1-4 amino acid residues.
