Expression and purification of recombinant polyomavirus VP2 protein and its interactions with polyomavirus proteins [PDF]
Recombinant polyomavirus VP2 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli (RK1448), using the recombinant expression system pFPYV2. Recombinant VP2 was purified to near homogeneity by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, electroelution, and Extracti-Gel chromatography.

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.

Norwalk Virus Minor Capsid Protein VP2 Associates within the VP1 Shell Domain [PDF]
ABSTRACT The major capsid protein of norovirus VP1 assembles to form an icosahedral viral particle. Despite evidence that the Norwalk virus (NV) minor structural protein VP2 is present in infectious virions, the available crystallographic and electron cryomicroscopy structures of NV have not revealed the location of VP2.

Plant-produced viral bovine vaccines: What happened during the last ten years? [PDF]
Vaccination has proved to be an efficient strategy to deal with viral infections in both human and animal species. However, protection of cattle against viral infections is still a major concern in veterinary science.

Variation in the Bluetongue Virus Neutralization Protein VP2
To determine the extent and nature of the antigenic variation of four U.S.A. serotypes of bluetongue virus (BTV), the complete nucleotide sequence was determined for cDNA clones representing the L2 dsRNA of BTV serotype 13, the gene that codes for the outer capsid neutralization antigen (VP2).

Identification of a new neutralization antigenic site on poliovirus coat protein VP2 [PDF]
Major neutralization antigenic sites have been previously mapped by us on VP1, the largest capsid protein of poliovirus type 1. Here we report the first identification of the primary sequence of a neutralization antigenic site on capsid protein VP2. Inspection of the amino acid sequence of VP2 led to the selection and synthesis of a peptide (n = 12 ...

The Type II Secretory System Mediates Phage Infection in Vibrio cholerae
Attachment and specific binding to the receptor on the host cell surface is the first step in the process of bacteriophage infection. The lytic phage VP2 is used in phage subtyping of the Vibrio cholerae biotype El Tor of the O1 serogroup; however, its ...

Viral proteins expressed in the protozoan parasite Eimeria tenella are detected by the chicken immune system [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Eimeria species are parasitic protozoa that cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease commonly characterised by malabsorption, diarrhoea and haemorrhage that is particularly important in chickens.
