A novel subunit ISCOM vaccine against bovine virus diarrhoea virus.
The preparation and preliminary testing of a subunit ISCOM (immunostimulating complex) vaccine against bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is described. Vaccination of calves with this vaccine yields high neutralising titres against a panel of Danish BVDV field isolates. The serological difference between virus isolates and vaccine strain selection is discussed.
متن کاملA Kunjin Replicon Virus-like Particle Vaccine Provides Protection Against Ebola Virus Infection in Nonhuman Primates.
The current unprecedented outbreak of Ebola virus (EBOV) disease in West Africa has demonstrated the urgent need for a vaccine. Here, we describe the evaluation of an EBOV vaccine candidate based on Kunjin replicon virus-like particles (KUN VLPs) encoding EBOV glycoprotein with a D637L mutation (GP/D637L) in nonhuman primates. Four African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) were injected su...
متن کاملDetection of Antibodies Against Bovine Leukemia Virus
A modified syncytium-induction inhibition test which is more sensitive than the immunodiffusion test, was developed using rabbit complement. In this test, fetal lamb kidney cells continuously infected with bovine leukemia virus were used as effector cells, and the CC81 cat cells transformed with murine sarcoma virus, were used as indicator cells. The syncytiuminduction inhibition effect of anti...
متن کاملZika virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccine
The newly emerged mosquito-borne Zika virus poses a major public challenge due to its ability to cause significant birth defects and neurological disorders. The impact of sexual transmission is unclear but raises further concerns about virus dissemination. No specific treatment or vaccine is currently available, thus the development of a safe and effective vaccine is paramount. Here we describe...
متن کاملVirus-like particles as vaccine.
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 viral surface proteins. Importantly, they ...
