ABSTRACT:
The chimeric proteins, and a protential vaccine and diagnostic reagent comprising gag-env chimeric protein particles are disclosed. The preparation comprises linking gag of HIV-2 to env to form the chimeric gene, inserting the obtained chimeric gene into the DNA of a baculovirus, infecting insect cells or insect host with the resulting recombinant virus, culturing it and purifying the obtained chimeric protein. The gag chimeric protein of HIV according to the present invention retains both antigenic and immunogenic properties.
