Abstract: Provided are a fusion protein and use thereof. Provided is a fusion protein, comprising a trimerization block and an immunogenic block which are connected by a linker, wherein the trimerization block comprises one or more of repeat units set forth in SEQ ID NO. 1; the immunogenic block is an immunogenic protein of a pathogen, for example, being selected from a coronavirus RBD block, an HIV membrane protein or an influenza virus hemagglutinin protein, and immunogenic fragments thereof. Compared with an immunogen monomer, the trimer can generate a higher neutralizing antibody level, does not induce a strong antibody against the trimerization block in a human body, and can promote the immune response of the organism to be focused on the immunogenic block.
