  • Publication number: 20240059730
    Abstract: A method for purifying a target protein in high yield is disclosed. The target protein includes a membrane protein. The purification method optimizes crushing and elution conditions during processes of separation and purification of membrane proteins, and when using the method to purify membrane proteins, the membrane proteins can be purified in a higher yield that is not less than 100 times compared to conventional homogenizer or sonic pulverization process. In addition, the purification method render removals of nuclei, peroxisomes, and lysosomes, thereby reducing DNA contamination and protein damage by proteases.

  • Publication number: 20220073566
    Abstract: The present invention provides a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) recombinant fusion protein (F protein) in which a polymerization domain derived from a foreign protein is bound to the C terminal of a fusion protein (F protein) lacking a transmembrane domain of a wild-type respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion protein (F protein). The recombinant fusion protein of the present invention is soluble and can retain an F protein trimer. Excellent immune-inducing effects can be expected from the recombinant fusion protein of the present invention, and vaccine composition containing same.

  • Publication number: 20210355169
    Abstract: The present invention provides a gene recombinant respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in which genes encoding the envelope proteins of an RSV are rearranged, wherein in the RSV, a gene encoding the fusion protein (F protein) derived from a heterologous virus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae or the family Pneumoviridae is inserted between the genes respectively encoding the glycoprotein (G protein) and the F protein of the RSV, or the gene encoding the F protein of the RSV is substituted with a gene encoding the F protein of a heterologous virus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae or the family Pneumoviridae. The recombinant RSV of the present invention can be used as an RSV vaccine strain, and can be used as a vaccine due to having excellent stability and safety.
