Title:
DNA FRAGMENT CAPABLE OF CODING NON-A, NON-B HEPATITIS VIRUS STRUCTURAL PROTEIN
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3195799
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To provide the subject new DNA fragment coding a polypeptide useful for diagnosis of non-A, non-B hepatitis excellent in accuracy of judgment.
CONSTITUTION: This invention is a DNA fragment obtained by collecting non-A, non-B hepatitis virus RNA directly from the plasma of a non-A, non-B hepatitis patient and modifying the collected RNA according to the genetic engineering method, containing a base sequence capable of coding a polypeptide constituting non-A, non-B hepatitis virus structural protein and having an amino acid sequence of, e.g. the formula. From the fresh plasma of a Japanese chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis patient infected only with group II, all the RNAs including non-A, non-B hepatitis virus RNA are collected using ELISA method and PCR method and cDNA is synthesized according to random primer method. The resultant cDNA is introduced in λ phage so as to construct a cDNA library. The obtained cDNA library is subjected to immunoscreening using the above- mentioned plasma of the hepatitis patient and cDNA library constructed from plural patient plasmas is screened by using the resultant DNA fragment as a probe, thus affording the objective cDNA specific to the above-mentioned hepatitis.
