CMV-SS-HA-UreB-CD4ecto-(TMTIR)TLR9-Histop

The most well known Helicobacter pylori antigen, urease B, fused with the extracellular domain of human CD4 and the transmembrane (TM) and cytosolic (TIR) domain of human Toll-like receptor 9. Construct is under control of constitutive promotor CMV and contains His-tag on C-terminus and HA-tag on N-terminus (after the CD4 signaling sequence).

Construct codes for a transmembrane protein expressed on the endosomal membrane. The protein can be visualized by staining with fluroscently labeled antibodies against the HA-tag inside the endosomes or against the His-tag in the cytosol.

The CD4 ecto domain enables constitutive homodimerization of the protein and thus activation of the TIR domain. This activation triggers transcription of genes under the NFkB promoter and stimulates the innate immune response. After the activation the antigen is processed in the endosome and short peptides are presented on MHC II molecules.
