Thermostable Protein Expression: Antigen/Adjuvant1
Advantages:
• Thermostable TAG (TST) (maltodextrin binding protein, MBP)
• N-terminal HN affinity tag
• C-terminal K6EE stability/solubility tag
• Inducible Tac promoter
• Optimized mRNA leader
• LacIQ repressor
• Thermostable vaccine components - Flagellin Adjuvant - In�uenza Antigen
