FIELD: molecular biology, genetic engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to recombinant plasmid DNA pUHBc that encodes hepatitis B core antigen protein. Its molecular mass is 2.36 MDa and size is 3576 base pairs. Recombinant plasmid DNA has plasmid vector pUC 19, promoter Plac, unique restriction sites for Nde (183), Nar I (236), Afl III (806), Cfr 10 I (1779). Ssp I (2501), Bam HI-fragment containing hepatitis B virus C-gene, genetic markers and gene of resistance to ampicillin. Invention ensures to exhibit foreign epitopes located on capsid HBc Ag surface and can be used as a basis for new structures making. EFFECT: plasmid DNA indicated above. 5 dwg, 4 ex
