Porcine rotavirus VP7 polyepitope fusion protein, and preparation method and application thereof
By constructing a multi-epitope fusion protein of porcine rotavirus VP7 and Salmonella typhimurium flagellate protein FliCS.T, we have solved the problems of poor prevention and control efficacy of existing vaccines and the paradox of immunogenicity and safety, as well as the conflict between structural stability and functional activity in the application of flagellate proteins, and achieved a highly efficient immune protection effect.

AI Technical Summary
Existing porcine rotavirus vaccines are ineffective due to serotype diversity, viral mutation, frequent interspecies transmission and gene rearrangement. Furthermore, bacterial flagellin, as an immune adjuvant, faces paradoxes regarding immunogenicity and safety, as well as conflicts between structural stability and functional activity.
By fusing the dominant B-cell neutralizing epitope of porcine rotavirus VP7 protein with the flagellated protein FliCS.T from Salmonella typhimurium, a multi-epitope fusion protein was constructed. Using FliCS.T as the backbone protein, the VP7 protein neutralizing epitope was embedded into the hypervariable region of FliCS.T through the multi-epitope fusion antigen technology (MEFA) platform, thereby achieving functional fusion expression of VP7 and FliCS.T.
It significantly enhances the immune protection against porcine rotavirus, induces high levels of neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune responses, reduces production costs, simplifies immunization procedures, and provides a broad-spectrum and highly effective vaccine prevention and control program.
