The invention discloses a chicken
infectious bursal disease virus VP2
protein, a VP2
protein virus-like particle vaccine and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, optimally designing an IBDV VP2
protein; secondly, a pCold II-SUMO
prokaryotic expression vector is obtained by adding SUMO protein on the basis of an
escherichia coli cold shock
expression vector pCold II, the prokaryotic soluble expression efficiency of the VP2 protein is improved, and the concentration of the purified VP2 protein with the SUMO
label can reach 1.00 mg / mL; after the SUMO
label is removed, the VP2 protein can be 100% assembled into VLPs in a specific solution, and after emulsification-demulsification, the VP2 protein still keeps a complete VLPs structure instead of a VP2
monomer, the stability is good, and experimental results show that the VLPs vaccine can 100% protect SPF chicken from IBDV virulent
virus attack. Besides, the preparation method of the VP2 protein is simple,
molecular sieve chromatography purification with high cost is avoided, complex processes such as ultracentrifugation are not needed, the
recovery rate of two-step affinity purification is close to 60%, the purity of the purified VP2 protein is about 80%, and industrial-scale preparation of IBDV
structural protein and IBDV VLPs vaccines becomes possible.
