ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a DNA which codes for an antigen comprising at least part of an amino acid sequence of the antigen of a flavivirus, which part contains at least one epitope of the flavivirus antigen. The present DNA can be used for producing the antigen easily and safely at low cost by means of recombinant DNA technique. The antigen produced using the present DNA can be used as an effective vaccine and diagnostic for Japanese encephalitis.
