ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses compositions of DNA and proteins that are useful The DNA compositions include structural genes coding for native structural viral proteins and immunogenic fragments of these proteins. Host cells transformed with the above DNA compositions are also disclosed. Vaccines made from the native structural viral proteins or immunogenic fragments are also disclosed as well as methods for protecting humans by inoculation with these vaccines.
