Construction of a unique B cell epitope-based virus-like particulate antigen: CR-T3-SEQ13. (A) Schematic diagram of the design from RBHBcAg to CR-T3-SEQ13; RBHBcAg-aa150-189 was truncated, HBcAg-aa18-27, HBcAg-aa50-69 and HBcAg-aa120-140 were introduced into the RBHBcAg149 by homologous replacement, sequence of SEQ13 polypeptide and linker was inserted by replacement of RBHBcAg-aa79-81, forming a chimeric molecule with a length of 193 amino acid, designated CR-T3-SEQ13. (B) Coomassie blue staining of sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and (C) electron microscopy (EM) picture of recombinant CR-T3-SEQ13 protein. (D) Cryo-EM structure of CR-T3-SEQ13 particle, SEQ13 epitopes are displayed on the spikes of particle. Cryo-EM, cryoelectron microscopy.
