Title: Modification of PCV-2 virulence by substitution of the genogroup motif of the capsid protein
  • Document date: 2011_3_24
  • ID: 1fl0we2a_3
    Snippet: The PCV-2 capsid protein is composed of 233 amino acids and is about 30kDa [8] . Three-dimensional maps from electron micrographs have shown that PCV-2 has an icosahedral virus surface containing 60 capsid proteins arranged in 12 pentamers and have a diameter of 20 nm [16] . The capsid protein is the most variable protein in the PCV-2 (91 to 100% of identity in nucleic acids versus 98 to 100% for the Rep). It is the main antigenic determinant of .....
    Document: The PCV-2 capsid protein is composed of 233 amino acids and is about 30kDa [8] . Three-dimensional maps from electron micrographs have shown that PCV-2 has an icosahedral virus surface containing 60 capsid proteins arranged in 12 pentamers and have a diameter of 20 nm [16] . The capsid protein is the most variable protein in the PCV-2 (91 to 100% of identity in nucleic acids versus 98 to 100% for the Rep). It is the main antigenic determinant of PCV-2 and contains four linear B-cell epitopes. These four immunodomains are enclosed between amino acids 65 to 87, 113 to 139, 169 to 183 and the last one between amino acids 230 and 234 [17, 18] , leading to this protein being used for vaccine development.
