The production of recombinant canine parvovirus type 2 Capsid protein VP2 begins with the isolation of the target gene corresponding to the 30-553aa of the canine parvovirus type 2 Capsid protein VP2. This gene is cloned into an expression vector with an N-terminal 10xHis-tag gene and a C-terminal Myc-tag gene. The expression vector is introduced into E. coli cells via transformation. The E. coli cells express the gene, producing the recombinant protein. This protein is harvested from the culture typically through cell lysis and purified using affinity chromatography. The final step involves measuring the purity of this recombinant protein, reaching up to 85%.
Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is a significant pathogen that emerged in 1978, causing acute hemorrhagic enteritis and myocardial disease in young dogs [1]. The capsid protein VP2 is the main structural protein of CPV-2, responsible for viral entry and host cell recognition [2]. Research has shown that changes in specific amino acids in the VP2 capsid region have led to the divergence of CPV-2 into antigenic variants like CPV-2a and CPV-2b, affecting the virus's ability to infect hosts and adapt to different environments [3]. The VP2 protein of CPV-2 is crucial for inducing virus-neutralizing antibodies and determining the host range of the virus [4].
