Transient expression of virus-like particles in plants: a promising platform for rapid vaccine production

Transient expression is an efficient and fast system to express recombinant proteins which has been used in different eukaryotic hosts such as mammalian and plant cells. Several applications of this system have so far been used which expression of proteins of interest is one of them. Recently, plants have attracted attention for being used as hosts for the production of recombinant pharmaceutic...

Skin malformations in a neonatal foal tested homozygous positive for Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome

BACKGROUND Skin malformations that resembled manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrome were described in a variety of domestic animals during the last century as cutis hyperelastica, hyperelastosis cutis, dermatosparaxis, dermal/collagen dysplasia, dermal/cutaneous asthenia or Ehlers-Danlos-like syndrome/s. In 2007, the mutation responsible for Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia (HERDA) ...

Antimicrobial selection in the neonatal foal

Infectious disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal foal with approximately 8% of foals affected by some form of infectious complication in the first 30 days of life in one recent study. Early recognition and treatment of infectious complications in the neonatal period is important to maximise outcome. The purposes of this article are to review antimicrobial sele...

Virus-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 ...
