Virus-like particles in Perkinsus atlanticus (Apicomplexa, Perkinsidae)

Virus-like particles in Perkinsus atlanticus (Apicomplexa, Perkinsidae)

Virus-like particles (VLP) were observed in different phases of the in vitro zoosporulation of Perkinsus atlanticus (Apicomplexa, Perlunsidae) which parasitized the gill tissues of Rudtapes decussatus (Molluscs, Bivalvia). These VLP were represented by numerous electron-dense bodies (ca 125 nm diameter) not previously described in similar culture processes. The VLP were densely packed in a memb...

Avian lymphoid leukosis: Virus-like particles in kidney Cells

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 ...

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...
