[Preparation of recombinant polypeptides containing antigenic determinants of hepatitis E virus].
DNA fragments complementary to hepatitis E Burma strain ORF2 and ORF3 obtained by oligonucleotide synthesis were cloned in expressing bacterial system. Recombinant polypeptides isolated from E. coli producer strains, immobilized on solid phase (polystyrene plates and nitrocellulose membranes), are studied in enzyme immunoassay to detect their ability to react with sera of patients with acute viral hepatitis from an Uzbekistan region endemic for hepatitis E. Two polypeptides reacting with the greatest number of sera, containing hepatitis E virus ORF2 and ORF3 gene fragments, were selected for further study of antigenic specificity.
