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

open access: yesVirology 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 ...

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

open access: yesVaccines, 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.

A facile quantitative assay for viral particle genesis reveals cooperativity in virion assembly and saturation of an antiviral protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Conventional assays of viral particle assembly and release are time consuming and laborious. We have developed an enzymatic virus-like particle (VLP) genesis assay that rapid and quantitative and is also versatile and applicable to diverse viruses ...

Virus-like Particles: Measures and Biological Functions

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Virus-like particles resemble infectious virus particles in size, shape, and molecular composition; however, they fail to productively infect host cells.

Evaluation of electrospray differential mobility analysis for virus particle analysis: Potential applications for biomanufacturing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The technique of electrospray differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA) was examined as a potential potency assay for routine virus particle analysis in biomanufacturing environments (e.g., evaluation of vaccines and gene delivery products for lot release)

Norwalk virus-like particles as vaccines [PDF]

open access: yesExpert 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.

HIV-1 Virus-like Particle Budding Assay

open access: yesBio-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 ...

The potential for reassortment between Oropouche and Schmallenberg Orthobunyaviruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A number of viruses within the Peribunyaviridae family are naturally occurring reassortants, a common phenomenon for segmented viruses. Using a minigenome-reporter and virus-like particle (VLP) production assay, we have accessed the potential of ...

Identification of Novel Adjuvants for Ebola Virus-Like Particle Vaccine

open access: yesVaccines, 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 particles as vaccine.

open access: yesActa Biochimica Polonica, 2014
This review presents data on commercial and experimental virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines, including description of VLP vaccines against influenza. Virus-like particles are multimeric, sometimes multiprotein nanostructures assembled from viral structural proteins and are devoid of any genetic material. VLPs present repetitive high-density displays of
