African Swine Fever Virus p72 Protein (p72)

Target: p72
Molecular classification: Structural protein, Capsid protein

Overview

The p72 protein is the major capsid protein of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) and is a critical structural and immunogenic component of the virion. It constitutes approximately 31–33% of the total mass of ASFV particles, making it the most abundant structural protein in the virus. The p72 protein plays essential roles in viral assembly, infection, immune response induction, and serves as a key antigen for diagnostics and vaccine development.
