SYNTHETIC HIV-2 ENVELOPE GENE THAT LEAD TO OPTIMIZED EXPRESSION IN BACTERIA FOR USE IN HIV-2 ANTIBODY IMMUNOASSAYS

摘要

A unique HIV-2 envelope gene using E. CoIi favorite codon, resulting in high-level expression in E. coli. The HIV-2 envelope protein thus expressed in E. coli can be used to detect HIV-2 antibody in in vitro diagnostic devices.
