This invention belongs to the field of
biomedicine, specifically relating to a secretory self-assembling
nanoparticle mRNA vaccine for
feline infectious peritonitis and its application. First, this invention constructs a
Ferritin fusion
antigen by fusing the RBD or S1 fragment of the FIPV S
protein with
ferritin. Second, this invention constructs an mRNA encoding the aforementioned
Ferritin fusion
antigen. The mRNA is delivered into host cells via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), where it is translated and expressed in the
cytoplasm. The
Ferritin fusion
antigen then forms a
nanoparticle structure within the
cell using its natural self-
assembly properties, eliminating the need for
in vitro assembly steps. Compared to traditional
nanoparticle vaccines, this method avoids steps such as
in vitro induction expression, purification, and
adjuvant addition, simplifying the production process, improving
immunogenicity, reducing the risk of adverse
drug reactions (ADE), and enhancing safety. Furthermore, it significantly improves humoral and
cellular immunity.
