This invention belongs to the field of biological vaccine technology, and more specifically, relates to recombinant
ferritin, vaccines, their preparation methods, and applications. The recombinant
ferritin is composed of three copies of Aβ... 1‑15 The
antigenic peptide is tandemly linked via a flexible
linker and then inserted into the symmetry axis site (double, triple, or quadruple symmetry axis) of
Helicobacter pylori
ferritin using
gene fusion technology. Its
amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO. 6, and SEQ ID NO. 7. This invention also provides the
gene encoding this recombinant ferritin, the recombinant vector, the recombinant
bacteria, and a method for its preparation. A vaccine prepared using this recombinant ferritin as the
active ingredient, in combination with an
adjuvant, can break autoimmune tolerance in AD model mice, induce the production of high-
titer specific antibodies, significantly clear Aβ deposits in the brain, and improve cognitive function, without inducing adverse reactions such as cerebral microhemorrhage. It can be used to prepare drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's
disease.
