The invention provides a
porcine circovirus 3 Cap
protein,
nucleic acid,
virus-like particles, vaccine, and a preparation method and application of the
porcine circovirus 3 Cap
protein, and relates tothe technical field of
molecular biology. The
porcine circovirus 3 Cap
protein provided by the invention has an
amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID NO.2, can be expressed in a soluble manner in a
yeast expression
system, and effectively improves
yeast expression efficiency of the porcine
circovirus 3 Cap protein. In addition, the porcine
circovirus 3 Cap protein provided by the invention can be self-assembled into the
virus-like particles, the vaccine prepared by using the
virus-like particles has the characteristics of
cell immunity and
humoral immunity, and immunologic related experiments show that the immune effect is good. The method for expressing the porcine
circovirus type 3 Cap protein by utilizing the
yeast expression
system has the advantages that production cost is low, the production process is simple, and a large amount of target proteins can be obtained through high-density
fermentation, has no endotoxin
pollution, and can be used for large-scale production.
