[Method]Based on the prokaryotic expression system, the antigenic epitopes and locations of the structural protein VP3 were predicted by software analysis,and the region displaying a large portion of antigenic epitopes was amplified by PCR. The target VP3 DNA fragment was inserted into pET-30 a-VP3 vector, was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 competent cells for protein expression and animal test. The SPF chickens were immunized with the recombinant protein and the antisera were collected for neutralization test by using a goose embryo fibroblast. [Result] The recombinant plasmid was constructed, and the target region of VP3 protein was expressed efficiently in a soluble form. The neutralizing titers of antisera could reach up to-2.608. [Conclusion] The target region displaying a large portion of antigenic epitopes of the structural protein VP3 could be expressed efficiently in soluble form, and the expressed protein could induce neutralizing antibodies in SFP chicken.展开更多
