Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a Varicella zoster virus fusion protein and an immunogenic composition comprising same and, more specifically, to a fusion protein comprising the glycoprotein E (gE) of Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and a constant region of an immunoglobulin molecule, and an immunogenic composition comprising same. The present invention not only remarkably increases a Varicella zoster virus-specific cell-mediated immune response, but also exhibits the effect of rapidly and potently inducing an immune response and sustaining the immune response for a long period of time, compared to preexisting vaccines, thereby can be usefully used to prevent Varicella zoster-related diseases. |
