Characterisation of a New Molecule Based on Two E2 Sequences from Bovine Viral Diarrhoea-mucosal Disease Virus Fused To the Human Immunoglobulin Fc Fragment

摘要

Proper conformational arrangement of the E2 molecules of bovine viral diarrhoea-mucosal disease virus (BVD-MDV) is crucial to obtain an effective recombinant vaccine candidate against the disease. In this study, we characterised a new molecule composed of two distinct sequences of the E2 glycoprotein of BVD-MDV and the Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin (BVDE2Fc).
