Although effective vaccines against the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) have been used since 1940, recent outbreaks and the limitations of current vaccines highlight the need for improved solutions. Advances in synthetic biology, reverse vaccinology, molecular biology, and recombinant DNA technology over the past 20 years have led to the development of recombinant vaccines, which offer enhanced protection and broader immunogenic coverage against NDV. This study aimed to express the immunogenic domains of Hemagglutinin Neuraminidase (HN) and Fusion (F) glycoproteins, linked to the heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (LTB) bio-adjuvant, to develop an effective and reliable recombinant vaccine for NDV.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>In this study, the L(HN)2F protein, composed of the LTB bio-adjuvant and the immunogenic regions of the doubled Hemagglutinin Neuraminidase (HN-HN) and Fusion (F) epitope, was expressed in <i>Escherichia coli.</i> Subcutaneous injection was used to evaluate the humoral immune response in mice and the result was compared with B1 vaccine.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The induction of strong humoral immune responses proved the strong immunoreactivity of the recombinant protein.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The IgG elicited by the recombinant proteins was comparable to that of the commercial B1 vaccine against NDV, indicating its potential as a viable candidate for further development and evaluation as a recombinant vaccine against NDV.</p>","PeriodicalId":14633,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Microbiology","volume":"16 5","pages":"655-665"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11551657/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142620228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
