An Avidin-Biotin Conjugation Technique for Presenting Target Antigens on <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> BCG
Source: Liao, T. A., et al., Expression of Exogenous Antigens in the Mycobacterium bovis BCG Vaccine via Non-genetic Surface Decoration with the Avidin-biotin System. J. Vis. Exp. (2018). The video demonstrates a technique for loading antigens on Mycobacterium bovis BCG to improve its immunogenic properties. The method uses the avidin-biotin system to coat the bacterial surface with exogenous antigens.
