چکیده
Norwalk virus (NV), responsible for outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis, comprises the species of the genus Norwalk-like viruses in the family Caliciviridae. Although the study of the molecular biology of NV has been hampered by a lack of culture systems or small experimental animal models, virus-like particles (VLPs) generated with recombinant baculoviruses harboring the capsid protein gene of NV provide a useful tool for investigating NV-cell interactions. In this study, the attachment of the recombinant VLPs derived from the Ueno virus (UEV), a strain belonging to the genogroup II NVs, to mammalian and insect cells was examined. Kinetic analyses of the binding of the recombinant VLPs of the UEV (rUEVs) to Caco-2 cells demonstrated that the binding was specific and occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Approximately 7.5% of the prebound rUEVs were internalized into the Caco-2 cells. Enzymatic and chemical modification of Caco-2 cell surface molecules suggested that the binding was directly mediated by a protein-protein interaction. A virus overlay protein-binding assay (VOPBA) indicated that rUEVs appeared to bind to a 105-kDa molecule, designated as the NV attachment (NORVA) protein. Furthermore, the assay indicated that its native conformational structure was indispensable for the binding activity. In Caco-2 cells, the NORVA protein was detected when VOPBA was carried out with the VLPs from Seto and Funabashi viruses, which are serologically different NVs from UEV, used as probes. The binding of rUEVs to NORVA protein was also observed in six mammalian cell lines other than Caco-2. These data suggest that the attachment of NV to mammalian cells is mediated by NORVA protein, which is ubiquitously expressed in the mammalian cells. The present study is the first report on the role of the cellular molecule in the binding of recombinant VLPs of NV.

Epitope-G1 of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) G glycoprotein has been genetically and antigenically conserved among various isolates of BEFV and only reacts with anti-BEFV neutralising antibodies. Therefore, it is a candidate antigen for development of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serological identification bovine ephemeral fever (BEF)-infected animals. The aim of this ...

Background and Aims: Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been suggested to be a promising recombinant vaccine approach. Several studies have reported that the influenza VLPs produced in insect cells is an effective vaccine candidate. Due to crucial role of matrix M1 protein in assembly and budding of Influenza particles, in all VLPs structures, M1 protein have been considered as a main component. ...

Objective(s): The results of studies on vaccine development for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus show that the use of inactivated vaccines for FMD virus is not completely effective. Novel vaccinations based on immuno-dominant epitopes have been shown to induce immune responses. Furthermore, for safety of immunization, access to efficient adjuvants against FMD virus seems to be critical.Materi...
