To improve the expression of soluble IBDV VP2 protein by using different tagged vectors in Escherichia coli. Fusion tags, Grifin, MBP, SUMO, thioredoxin, gamma-crystallin, ArsC and PpiB, enhanced the expression and solubility of VP2 protein. The fusion proteins were purified by Ni-NTA chromatography, MBP-VP2 showed the highest purity about 90 %. After removing the MBP tag, VP2 self-assembled into virus-like particles, similar to 25 nm diam. Results from AGP suggested the recombinant IBDV VP2 protein identified by reference serum like IBDV. All the seven tags enhanced the expression and solubility of IBDV VP2 protein. The recombinant protein self-assembly into virus like particles and possess antigenicity as reference IBDV.
