The invention discloses a gB, gH / gL and K8.1 multi-
epitope DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) vaccine for preventing KSHV (Kaposi's
sarcoma associated
herpes virus), and relates to the technical field of vaccines, in particular to a gB, gH / gL and K8.1 multi-
epitope DNA vaccine for preventing KSHV infection, which is delivered by adopting a nano-carrier beta-CD-PEI, and simultaneously delivers a sulfo-modified small-fragment
nucleic acid adjuvant, so that the KSHV infection can be effectively prevented and treated. The multi-
epitope DNA vaccine mainly comprises four plasmids with His tags, the four plasmids are pcDNA3.1 (+)-gB-his, pcDNA3.1 (+)-K8.1-his, pcDNA3.1 (+)-gH-his and pcDNA3.1 (+)-gL-his, the four plasmids are combined on beta-CD-PEI through
electrostatic adsorption, an
adjuvant CPGodn1826 is adsorbed, and the KSHV nano multi-epitope DNA vaccine which is stable, high in
delivery efficiency and good in
immunogenicity is formed. The invention further provides a construction method of the DNA nano vaccine, the nano vaccine is characterized, and the immune effect is verified in a mouse body. Compared with a traditional vaccine, the vaccine provided by the invention has good
immunogenicity and safety, and has a relatively great application prospect.
