Caliciviridae is a group of RNA viruses could lead to gastrointestinal disease in humans and acute oral or upper respiratory tract disease in felines, no efficient vaccine so far. The preparation of immunogen is a challenge to obtain a safe and efficient vaccine candidate. Molecular sieving, due to the advantage of simple and fast purifying, is considered as a very powerful tool in calicivirus purification; however, also introduce mechanical damage to the viron. In this study, we took Feline Calicivirus (FCV), a common natural pathogen in cats as well as a classic model for caliciviruses studies, as a research object. Here, with the help of the cryo-electron microscope (cryo-EM), we collected particle images in both conditions of with and without molecular sieving post-processing, the impact of molecular sieving on FCV particles was evaluated by building a flexibility evaluation system after 3D classification. The results indicated that the molecular sieving will impact the stability of P domains through increasing flexibility. In addition, we successfully built up a scoring system to describe this flexibility of FCV P-domains, which can be extended to assess the purification effect to the entire calicivirus.
