Programmable polymorphism of a virus-like particle
Virus-like particles are promising for drug delivery systems and vaccine development, but controlling their size and morphology is challenging. Here, amino acid sequences are inserted into MS2 bacteriophage virus-like particles, with their size and shape

Virus-Like Particle, Liposome, and Polymeric Particle-Based Vaccines against HIV-1
It is acknowledged that vaccines remain the best hope for eliminating the HIV-1 epidemic. However, the failure to produce effective vaccine immunogens and the inability of conventional delivery strategies to elicit the desired immune responses remains a ...

Virus-like particle vaccines: immunology and formulation for clinical translation
Introduction: Virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines face significant challenges in their translation from laboratory models, to routine clinical administration. While some VLP vaccines thrive and are readily adopted into the vaccination schedule, others are

Optimization and validation of a virus‐like particle pseudotyped virus neutralization assay for SARS‐CoV‐2 [PDF]
Spike‐protein‐based pseudotyped viruses were used to evaluate vaccines during the COVID‐19 pandemic. However, they cannot be used to evaluate the envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N) proteins. The first generation of virus‐like particle (VLP)

Virus-like particle vaccinology, from bench to bedside
Virus-like particles (VLPs) have become key tools in biology, medicine and even engineering. After their initial use to resolve viral structures at the atomic level, VLPs were rapidly harnessed to develop antiviral vaccines followed by their use as ...
