The human TK^- 143 cells were infected with the recombinant vaccinia viruses vTMS-1 or vTLS-1. Cells infected with vTMS-1, which contains the preS2+S gene, produced preS2 containing middle HBsAg proteins. Similarly, cells produced preS1 containing large HBsAg proteins upon infection with vTLS-1, which carries the preS1+preS2+S gene. The expression products could be secreted and form 22 nm particles. They reacted specifically with anti-preS1 and/or anti-preS2 monoclonal antibodies, and exhibited pHSA-receptor (for polymerized human serum albumin) activity. In addition, the major S components of hepatitis B surface antigen were also present in the products expressed by vTMS-1 and vTLS-1.展开更多
