Mammalian Expression of Virus-Like Particles for Advanced Mimicry of Authentic Influenza Virus

Mammalian Expression of Virus-Like Particles for Advanced Mimicry of Authentic Influenza Virus

BACKGROUND Influenza A viruses are major human and animal pathogens with huge economic and societal impact from illness, hospitalizations, and deaths. Virus-like particles (VLPs) of influenza virus have been suggested as a vaccine candidate offering improved safety and efficacy. To develop this concept further, we established a flexible platform to efficiently generate different subtypes of mam...

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...

Over Expression of Influenza Virus M2 Protein in Prokaryotic System

Background and Aims: Influenza A virus of Orthomyxoviridae family is able to create pandemic influenza. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection. Matrix protein 2 (M2) is a homotetramer ion channel with 97 amino acids length and highly conserved among influenza viruses and is considered for development of a universal influenza vaccine. Materials and Methods: We...

expression of cucumber mosaic virus coat protein and its assembly into virus like particles

background cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) has isometric particles with a diameter of about 28–29 nm. a useful method to recognize regions from mutagenesis in the coat protein (cp) gene are important for particle assembly and the expression of viral in cp expression systems like bacteria such as e.coli or yeast as well as their assembly into virus-like particles (vlp). objectives in this paper, we ...
