The invention discloses a method for preparing O-type foot-and-mouth
disease virus multi-
epitope virus-like particles through
escherichia coli as well as a product and application thereof. The method comprises the following steps: inserting
nucleic acid for coding O-type foot-and-mouth
disease virus multi-
epitope virus-like particles into a
prokaryotic expression vector, then converting the
prokaryotic expression vector into
escherichia coli competent, and carrying out
protein expression and purification, wherein the sequence of the
nucleic acid for coding the O-type
foot and mouth disease virus multi-
epitope virus-like particle is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 5. The O-type
foot and mouth disease virus multi-epitope VLP
antigen is designed by taking HBc
protein as a skeleton and all topological representative strain
antigen epitopes of O-type
foot and mouth disease virus separated in China as elements and introducing
T cell epitopes, the
antigen spectrum is wider, auxiliary
T cell epitopes are introduced, rapid immune response can be excited in an early stage, and the
recombinant antigen is soluble in expression, so that the
recombinant antigen can be used for preparing the O-type
foot and mouth disease virus multi-epitope VLP antigen for the O-type
foot and mouth disease virus. And only the
soluble antigen needs to be purified, so that the purification step is simplified, the antigen loss is reduced, and industrial production can be realized.
