Improvement of the Solubility of the Vp2 Hypervariable Region of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus by Fusion to the NP Protein of Newcastle Disease Virus

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) has five proteins, VP1, VP2, VP3, VP4 and VP5. The VP2 protein is the major host-protective immunogen of IBDV. The hypervariable region (HVR) of the VP2 protein [VP2(HVR)] elicits neutralising antibodies. The coding sequence of the VP2(HVR) was amplified by pol...
