Compositions, preparations and uses of human papillomavirus L1 protein

摘要

Large quantities of soluble multimers of human papillomavirus L1 proteins can be produced in bacterial expression systems and used as therapeutic and diagnostic tools. L1 multimers can be used in immunogenic vaccine compositions, as diagnostic reagents, and as tools for mapping cell surface receptor interactions. The invention was made using U.S. Government funds, and therefore the U.S. Government has rights in the invention.
