In addition, the antigenic properties of the purified Cap protein were employed in a subunit-based indirect ELISA to monitor the levels of PCV 2 specific antibodies in piglets originating from a herd which was experiencing PCV 2 infection. In order to eliminate the cluster of rare codons from the 5 end of the cap gene, the expression vector encoding a truncated variant of Cap protein ( Cap-His), which was lacking the first 16 amino acid residues, was constructed (Fig. 1B) . In summary, a bacterial expression system has been developed for the production of the full-length recombinant capsid protein of porcine circovirus type 2. ./cache/cord-258468-52gej3co.txt ./txt/cord-258468-52gej3co.txt
