The invention discloses a subunit coronavirus vaccine for dimerization-based receptor binding domains and belongs to the technical field of medicine. A baculovirus expresses RBD (receptor binding domain (E367-Y606) of MERS-CoV (middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus) protein and RBD (R294-F515) of SARS-CoV (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus) in insect cells, the RBDs may form a dimer through cysteine residue at 603 of S (spike) protein or form a dimer through cysteine residue at 512 of the S protein, and purified RBD protein dimer and monomer are used respectively to immunize Bald / c mice. The dimerized RBDs have the advantages that the defect that RBD monomers have poor immunogenicity is overcome and the generation of neutralizing antibodies in against MERS-CoV is increased greatly.
