Abstract:
Using a lysine mutant of tobacco mosaic virus(TMV-EPMK) as the hapten carrier, artificial TMV-EPMK/E3 antigens were fabricated by conjugating a small molecular estriol(E3) onto TMV-EPMK through “click” chemistry, and their immune response was evaluated in BALB/c mice. The results demonstrated that TMV-EPMK/E3 antigen containing the hydrophilic linker could enhance the E3 specific immune response with the higher IgG antibody level(titer 21800) by displaying E3 on TMV surface with distinctive topology. This study investigated that immune response was affected by linker property using TMV as the hapten carrier. A hydrophilic linker could elicit a stronger immune response.
Key words: TMV-EPMK, click chemistry, hapten, artificial antigen, immune response
