Virus like particles as a platform for cancer vaccine development [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Cancers have killed millions of people in human history and are still posing a serious health problem worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing preventive and therapeutic cancer vaccines.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Virus-like vaccines against HIV/SIV synergize with a subdominant antigen T cell vaccine
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2019 Background In non-human primates (NHPs) and humans, partial protection from HIV/SIV infection or suppression of replication is achievable by Env-binding antibodies and Gag-specific CD8+ T-cells targeting protective epitopes.

Norwalk virus-like particles as vaccines [PDF]
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2010 Noroviruses (NoV) cause the great majority of epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Expression of the capsid protein in recombinant systems, including insect and plant cells, yields assembly of virus-like particles (VLPs) that mimic the antigenic structure of authentic virions, and are relatively acid- and heat-stable.

Long-lasting cross-protection against influenza A by neuraminidase and M2e-based immunization strategies [PDF]
, 2016 There is mounting evidence that in the absence of neutralizing antibodies cross-reactive T cells provide protection against pandemic influenza viruses. Here, we compared protection and CD8+ T cell responses following challenge with H1N1 2009 pandemic and

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Arctic-like Rabies Virus, Bangladesh
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Arctic/Arctic-like rabies virus group 2 spread into Bangladesh ≈32 years ago. Because rabies is endemic to and a major public health problem in this country, we characterized this virus group.

Influenza virus-like particle vaccines
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2009 Enveloped virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines containing influenza hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) antigens are produced easily in insect or mammalian cells via the simultaneous expression of HA and NA along with a viral core protein, such as influenza matrix (M1) or a retroviral Gag protein.

Physico-chemical requirements and kinetics of membrane fusion of flavivirus-like particles. [PDF]
, 2015 Flaviviruses deliver their RNA genome into the host-cell cytoplasm by fusing their lipid envelope with a cellular membrane. Expression of the flavivirus pre-membrane and envelope glycoprotein genes in the absence of other viral genes results in the ...
