Advancing usability of an influenza hemagglutinin virus-like particle vaccine expressing a chimeric cytokine

Virology Journal, 2023
Vaccine efficacy of conventional influenza vaccines depend on the antigenic similarity between the selected vaccine strain and annual epidemic strain. Since the influenza virus evolves yearly, a vaccine which is independent from viral antigenic mutation ...

Virus-like Particle Vaccines and Platforms for Vaccine Development

Viruses, 2023
Virus-like particles (VLPs) have gained a lot of interest within the past two decades. The use of VLP-based vaccines to protect against three infectious agents—hepatitis B virus, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis E virus—has been approved; they are ...

The Immunogenicity of Capsid-Like Particle Vaccines in Combination with Different Adjuvants Using Different Routes of Administration

Vaccines, 2021
Capsid-like particle (CLP) displays can be used to enhance the immunogenicity of vaccine antigens, but a better understanding of how CLP vaccines are best formulated and delivered is needed.

Epitope-Specific Anti-hCG Vaccines on a Virus Like Particle Platform.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The possibility of a contraceptive vaccine targeting human chorionic gonadotropin has long been recognized, but never fully realized. Here we describe an epitope-specific approach based on immunogenic display of hCG-derived peptides on virus-like ...

Expression of dengue virus and Zika virus NS2B-NS3pro constructs alter cellular fatty acids, but co-expression with a Zika virus virus-like particle is detrimental to virus-like particle expression

BMC Research Notes, 2023
Objective Studies have shown that Flavivirus infection remodels the host cell to favour viral replication. In particular, the host cell lipid profile is altered, and it has been proposed that this process alters membrane fluidity to allow wrapping of the

Versatile virus-like particle carrier for epitope based vaccines. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Recombinant proteins and in particular single domains or peptides are often poorly immunogenic unless conjugated to a carrier protein. Virus-like-particles are a very efficient means to confer high immunogenicity to antigens.

HIV-1 Virus-like Particle Budding Assay

Bio-Protocol, 2013
Viral replication culminates with the egress of the mature virion from the host cell. This step of the viral life cycle has recently garnered increased attention with the discovery of the cellular restriction factor, Tetherin, which tethers budded ...

Identification of Novel Adjuvants for Ebola Virus-Like Particle Vaccine

Vaccines, 2020
Ebola virus disease is a severe disease, often fatal, with a mortality rate of up to 90%. Presently, effective treatment and safe prevention options for Ebola virus disease are not available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop control measures

Virus-Like Particle Production in Atmospheric Eubacteria Isolates

Atmosphere, 2019
Culturable eubacterial isolates were collected at various altitudes in Earth’s atmosphere, including ~1.5 m above ground in Tallahassee, FL, USA; ~10.0 m above sea level over the mid-Atlantic ridge (~15° N); ~20 km above ground over the ...

A Novel Recombinant Virus-Like Particles Displaying B and T Cell Epitopes of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Offers Protective Immunity in Mice and Guinea Pigs

Vaccines, 2021
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are non-replicative vectors for the delivery of heterologous epitopes and are considered one of the most potent inducers of cellular and humoral immune responses in mice and guinea pigs.
