Rubella virus spike construct

The Rubella Virus Spike construct comprises at least one E1 component and one E2 component, which are linked together. The E1 component consists of the El envelope protein, whose C-terminal transmembrane region and intravirional domain are removed and whose N-terminus comprises the ectodomain of the El envelope protein. The E2 component consists of the E2 envelope protein whose transmembrane regions and intravirional domain removed and whose C-terminus comprising the ectodomain of the E2 envelope protein. The C-terminus of the E2 component is connected to the N-terminus of the E1 component by direct fusion or by means of a linker to form an E1-E2 fusion protein.
