Pham Bich Ngoc Msc. Ho Thi Thuong Co-supervisor : Msc. Nguyen Quoc Trung HANOI, 03 /2021 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other education institution.
To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Signature: Date: i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, my sincere thanks goes to the Department of Applied DNA technology- Institution of Biotechnology- Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and Faculty of Biotechnology- Vietnam National University of Agriculture for giving me a chance to do this thesis and support me all the time during the process. Secondly, I would like to thank my principal supervisor, Assoc/Prof. Pham Bich Ngoc, and co-supervisor Nguyen Quoc Trung for their ongoing support and suggestions through my graduation thesis and most profoundly, Mrs.Ngoc had accepted me from the first time after I decided to leave the previous lab.
Moreover, I extend deep thanks to Mrs. Ho Thi Thuong, who guided me throughout all sectors of my thesis in particular, and so far, my research direction in general. Without her, this project would not have been done. I also wish to express my appreciation and gratitude to my colleagues who, through their ideas, suggestions, and criticisms, all in order to improve my thesis.
This thesis, like any other, would not have been possible without the involvement and support of Ms. Trinh Thai Vy, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tra, Mr. Ngo Hong Duong, they have all earned my deepest gratitude, giving me many guidance to help me from beginner to premature in research aspects and my skills in research almost improved from their support.
I would like to thank all Staff and students at the Faculty of Applied DNA technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, who have had to put up with me going through all kinds of emotional swings also deserve my thanks. They were all very friendly and helpful to me, I was so lucky to study in a great working environment. This thesis was financially supported by Vingroup Innovation Foundation (VINIF) for project named: “Study on expression and evaluation of immunogenicity of several plant- based recombinant antigens of African Swine Fever virus for subunit vaccine development” and project code: VINIF. Last, but not least, I express my great gratitude for my family and friends for all their help, encouragement through all these years.
