WHOLE PROTEIN GENE OF MERS-CoV NUCLEOPROTEIN AND VACCINE COMPOSITION FOR PREVENTING INFECTION OF MERS-CoV COMPRISING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a full-length protein gene of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) nucleoprotein and a vaccine composition for preventing MERS-CoV infection comprising the same. The full-length protein gene antigen of MERS-CoV nucleoprotein represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 according to the present invention can be mass-produced in E. coli. In addition, the antigen-inoculated animal model shows the ability to protect against MERS-CoV, and thus can be widely used for MERS-CoV prevention.
