Small peptide dissociates hepatitis B core from surface antigen
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, February 3rd, 2003
According to a study from Malaysia, "M13 phages that display random disulfide constrained heptapeptides on their gpIII proteins were used to select for high affinity ligands to hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). Phages bearing the amino acid sequences C-WSFFSNI-C and C-WPFWGPW-C were isolated, and a binding assay in solution showed that these phages bind tightly to full-length and truncated HBcAg with K-D(rel) values less than 25 nM, which is at least 10 orders of magnitude higher than phage carrying the peptide sequence LLGRMK selected from a...
