The invention discloses a recombinant 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2
protein, a
subunit vaccine and application of the
subunit vaccine, and belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering. According to the 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2
protein, 344-375 amino acids of the 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2
protein are removed, and 1-343 amino acids of the 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2 protein are reserved, so that the most important antigenic
epitope with a protective effect of the 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2 protein can be reserved, the space structure of the recombinant 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2 protein is basically not influenced, and the
immunogenicity of the 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2 protein can be reserved to the greatest extent; in addition, the recombinant 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2 protein can be efficiently expressed in a
prokaryotic expression system; furthermore, the soluble expression level of the recombinant 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2 protein can be remarkably improved through co-expression of the molecular chaperone, and after the recombinant 2.1 d subtype swine fever E2 protein is prepared into a
subunit vaccine, the subunit vaccine has a good protection effect on 2.1 d subtype
swine fever virus infection.
