According to recent research published in the journal Vaccine, "The aim of current study was to evaluate the prospects of somatostatin DNA vaccine. Two copies of somatostatin (SS) genes were fused with the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) S gene using genetic engineering methods, the identified recombinant plasmid designated as pcS/2SS was transfected into HeLa cells to detect expression and antigenicity of target fusion protein, and its immunoreaction as well as safety was evaluated with animal experiments." "The expressed target protein had a specific reaction with somatostatin antibody and showed a single strip result. A single injection of this vector...
