Abstract: In order to investigate the immune effect of E. coli outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) as presentation vector of classical swine fever virus E2 protein, the classical swine fever virus E2 gene was ligated to the C-terminus of pBAD18-Cm-ClyA after excision of the transmembrane region, and then transformed into E. coli DH5α. Inducted with 0.2% arabinose, the OMVs containing the E2 protein were collected and the rabbits were immunized. Western blotting showed that the OMVs could specifically bind to CSFV antibody. Indirect ELISA showed that the recombinant OMVs could induce high level of IgG antibody in rabbits. After immunization, rabbits could well protect the live CSFV challenge. All these results indicated that E. coli CSFV E2 protein had good immunogenicity, which laid the foundation for the research of OMVs presentation of classical swine fever virus E2 protein vaccine.

Key words: OMVs, classical swine fever virus E2 protein, immunogenicity
