The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and discloses a recombinant
turkey herpesvirus, and a tandem
epitope expression cassette is inserted between UL45 and UL46 of the recombinant
turkey herpesvirus; the tandem
epitope expression cassette is used for expressing a plurality of
B cell epitopes and a plurality of
T cell epitopes. According to the recombinant
turkey herpesvirus, tandem epitopes are inserted into an HVT (turkey herpesvirus) carrier, and through experimental
verification, good cellular immune response can be induced and generated in 1-day-old chicks and 18-day-old
chick embryos by immunizing the multi-
epitope recombinant HVT vaccine for one time, and compared with inactivated vaccines needing two-time immunization, the recombinant turkey herpesvirus can provide earlier and better challenge protection effect. Meanwhile, the recombinant turkey herpesvirus is verified to be capable of performing intraembryonic
vaccination and generating an obvious
immune protection effect. Meanwhile, the invention further provides a preparation method and application of the recombinant turkey herpesvirus.
