Abstract
Bovine papillomavirus type 9 (BPV9) is a causative agent of severe teat papillomatosis. Considering the lack of efficient BPV culture methods, recombinant proteins such as virus-like particles developed through genetic engineering may serve as a useful tool for developing effective vaccines against BPV infection. In this study, we successfully produced immunogenic particles composed of recombinant L1 protein of BPV9 (rBPV9-L1), using a baculovirus expression system. rBPV9-L1-immunized mice produced BPV9-specific IgG, which did not cross-react with BPV type 6, which is another causative agent of teat papillomatosis. Hence, immunogenic rBPV9-L1 is potentially applicable as a vaccine candidate for teat papillomatosis.
