Superfluorescent Virus-like Particles

OSA Advanced Photonics Congress 2021, 2021
After short pulse excitation, the optical emission from a dense array of fluorophores attached onto the surface of an icosahedral virus is strongly accelerated. Here we review the circumstances in which this intriguing phenomenon can be observed.

Bioengineering virus‐like particles as vaccines

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2013
ABSTRACTVirus‐like particle (VLP) technology seeks to harness the optimally tuned immunostimulatory properties of natural viruses while omitting the infectious trait. VLPs that assemble from a single protein have been shown to be safe and highly efficacious in humans, and highly profitable.

Enzyme Stabilization by Virus-Like Particles

Biochemistry, 2020
The properties of enzymes packaged within the coat protein shell of virus-like particles (VLPs) were studied to provide a comprehensive assessment of such factors. Such entrainment did not seem to perturb enzyme function, but it did significantly enhance enzyme stability against several denaturing stimuli such as heat, organic solvents, and chaotropic ...

Transcutaneous vaccination with virus-like particles

Vaccine, 2006
Virus-like particles (VLP) are inert, empty capsids of viruses, which contain no DNA/RNA from the virus itself. However they retain the structure of a virus and they can be engineered to have antigens attached. We have constructed VLP, derived from Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus, and shown they are highly immunogenic.

Meningoencephalitis with toroidal virus-like particles

Acta Neuropathologica, 1975
A previously healthy middle aged man died following a 6 month illness which presented with middle ear symptoms, apparently resolved, and then 2 months later manifested as encephalitis. The illness was characterized initially by depression and intellectual deterioration. No family member or working associate was affected. The clinical diagnosis of viral

Virus-Like Particles as Particulate Vaccines

Current HIV Research, 2010
Particulate structures hold great promise for the development of effective and affordable recombinant prophylactic as well as therapeutic vaccines. Different types of particulate structures, including virus-like particles (VLPs) and virosomes, have been developed depending on the nature of the viral pathogen to be targeted and the type of immune ...

Virus-like particles in Basidiobolus species

Mycopathologia, 1986
Transmission electron microscopy of ultrathin sections of hyphal cells of Basidiobolus haptosporus and B. ranarum revealed the presence of particulate inclusions consistent in morphology with that described in certain other fungi as virus-like particles.

Virus-like particles in human milk

Cancer, 1971
Human milk from 59 women was studied by electron microscopy for the presence of viruslike particles. 2 types of viruslike particles were seen: 1) a small particle 20-40 mM and 2) a larger particle closely resembling the murine oncogenic ribonucleic acid virus.

Virus-like particles in Leishmania parasites

Nature, 1974
VIRUSES or virus-like particles (VLPs) have been found in Entamoeba histolytica1, in the amoeboflagellate Naegleria gruberi2 and in malaria parasites3–5, but there have been no reports as yet of such organisms being found in the Trypanosomatidae. During investigations on the ultrastructure of various members of the genus Leishmania, however, VLPs have ...
