Glycylglycine promotes the solubility and antigenic utility of recombinant HCV structural proteins in a point-of-care immunoassay for detection of active viremia by Heba Shawky, Ashraf A. Tabll, Reem M. Elshenawy, Naiera M. Helmy, Rehab I. Moustafa, Yasser K. Elesnawy, Marwa M. Abdelghany, Yasmine S. El-Abd

“…Abstract Background Although E. coli is generally a well-opted platform for the overproduction of recombinant antigens as heterologous proteins, the optimization of expression conditions to maximize the yield of functional proteins remains empirical. Herein, we developed an optimized E. coli (BL21)-based system for the overproduction of soluble immunoreactive HCV core/envelope proteins that were utilized to establish a novel immunoassay for discrimination of active HCV infection. …”
