Our previous study proved that the N-terminal (aa693-711) of glycoprotein E2 contained sequential neutralizing epitopes. In this study, four candidate epitope-vaccines (EVs) were separately prepared and evaluated. Among them, epitope-vaccine EV-BC1a (BC1a: aa693-699) induced high level of epitope-specific neutralizing antibodies and exhibited similar protective capability with that induced by Chinese vaccine strain (C-strain). These results confirmed CKEDYRY (aa693-699) as a principal sequential neutralizing epitope on E2 N-terminal. Moreover, these findings also indicate that epitope-vaccine is a potent candidate strategy for marker vaccine against classical swine fever virus (CSFV).
我们之前的研究证明,糖蛋白E2的N端(氨基酸693 - 711)含有连续的中和表位。在本研究中,分别制备并评估了四种候选表位疫苗(EVs)。其中,表位疫苗EV - BC1a(BC1a:氨基酸693 - 699)诱导产生了高水平的表位特异性中和抗体,并且表现出与中国疫苗株(C株)诱导的抗体相似的保护能力。这些结果证实CKEDYRY(氨基酸693 - 699)是E2 N端主要的连续中和表位。此外,这些发现还表明,表位疫苗是针对经典猪瘟病毒(CSFV)的标记疫苗的有力候选策略。
