The invention discloses a recombinant chimeric
protein and application thereof in preparation of a
goatpox virus virus vaccine, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicines. The
amino acid sequence of the recombinant chimeric
protein is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the recombinant chimeric
protein is formed by connecting four common
B cell antigen epitopes of LSDV and GTPV in series through flexible connecting peptides. The protein can be subjected to efficient soluble expression through a
prokaryotic expression system, can be specifically recognized by LSDV infected serum and GTPV immune serum, and has good
immunogenicity. Animal experiments show that a
subunit vaccine prepared by taking the protein as an
immunogen can induce a mouse to generate a
neutralizing antibody aiming at LSDV and GTPV, and after challenge, visceral
viral load is remarkably reduced, tissue
pathological damage is relieved, and effective
immune protection is provided. As a safe and efficient
subunit vaccine antigen, the recombinant chimeric protein provided by the invention has a wide application prospect in the aspect of preparing broad-spectrum goat
pox virus virus vaccines.
