"Revolutionary Vaccine Development Method Discovered by Scientists"

Scientists in Germany have developed a new method to display epitopes in mammal cells for immunization studies, potentially revolutionizing vaccine development. By fusing antigen proteins into a tetraspanin-derived anchor membrane-bound protein, the researchers created fusion proteins that are displayed predominantly on the surface of human cells. This new display technology allows for the production of antibodies against specific viral proteins without the need for antigen purification, speeding up the immunization process. The researchers believe this technique could be particularly valuable in developing vaccines against diseases like HIV-1.
