The immunogenicity of the E7 gene has been enhanced by its fusion to many different genes. We linked a short sequence coding for the E7 peptide (aa 44-60) containing immunodominant epitopes for B and T cells to the 3' end of the gene coding for the whole coat protein (CP) of the potyvirus, potato virus A (PVA), and its...
