Expression of rotavirus VP2 produces empty corelike particles [PDF]
The complete VP2 gene of bovine rotavirus strain RF has been inserted into the baculovirus transfer vector pVL941 under the control of the polyhedrin promoter. Cotransfection of Spodoptera frugiperda 9 cells with wild-type baculovirus DNA and transfer vector DNA led to the formation of recombinant baculoviruses which contain bovine rotavirus gene 2 ...

Chicken Anemia Virus VP2 Is a Novel Dual Specificity Protein Phosphatase [PDF]
The function of viral protein 2 (VP2) of the immunosuppressive circovirus chicken anemia virus (CAV) has not yet been established. We show that the CAV VP2 amino acid sequence has some similarity to a number of eukaryotic, receptor, protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) alpha proteins as well as to a cluster of human TT viruses within the Sanban group.

Typing of Human Enterovirus by Partial Sequencing of VP2 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The sequencing of the VP1 hypervariable region of the human enterovirus (HEV) genome has become the reference test for typing field isolates. This study describes a new strategy for typing HEV at the serotype level that uses a reverse transcription-PCR assay targeting the central part of the VP2 capsid protein. Two pairs

Identification of Potential Novel B-Cell Epitopes of Capsid Protein VP2 in Senecavirus A
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a type of nonenveloped single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. The VP2 protein is a structural protein that plays an important role in inducing early and late immune responses of the host.

Atomic Resolution Structure of the Oncolytic Parvovirus LuIII by Electron Microscopy and 3D Image Reconstruction. [PDF]
LuIII, a protoparvovirus pathogenic to rodents, replicates in human mitotic cells, making it applicable for use to kill cancer cells. This virus group includes H-1 parvovirus (H-1PV) and minute virus of mice (MVM).

Myristoylation of budgerigar fledgling disease virus capsid protein VP2 [PDF]
We present evidence that the structural protein VP2 of budgerigar fledgling disease virus, an avian polyomavirus, is specifically modified by covalent attachment of myristic acid. The fatty acid linkage is insensitive to hydroxylamine treatment and thus represents the amide type of fatty acylation of proteins.

A synthetic biology approach for a vaccine platform against known and newly emerging serotypes of bluetongue virus [PDF]
Bluetongue is one of the major infectious diseases of ruminants and is caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus existing in nature in at least 26 distinct serotypes. Here, we describe the development of a vaccine platform for BTV.

The immunogenicity of recombinant vaccines based on modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) viruses expressing African horse sickness virus VP2 antigens depends on the levels of expressed VP2 protein delivered to the host [PDF]
African horse sickness (AHS) is a lethal equine disease transmitted by Culicoides biting midges and caused by African horse sickness virus (AHSV). AHS is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, but devastating outbreaks have been recorded periodically outside ...

Construction of Recombinant Baculoviruses Expressing Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Main Protective Antigen and Their Immune Effects on Chickens. [PDF]
In order to overcome the limitations of conventional vaccines for infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), we constructed recombinant dual expression system baculoviruses with VP2 and VP2/4/3, the main protective antigens of IBDV.
