Development of picornavirus-like particle vaccines
نویسندگان
چکیده
2015 Vaccination has been the most effective and economical way of combating the spread of infectious disease. Virus-like particles (VLPs) against human and animal diseases caused by picornaviruses are actively being researched and developed as potential vaccines. Promising immunogenicity and protective efficacy data has been reported for VLPs produced using various expression systems. The translation of these VLPs into vaccine products requires further bioprocess development, underpinned by advanced analytical VLP characterization techniques. We overview approaches taken to effectively produce and purify these multiprotein VLPs to achieve the desired immune responses. The opportunities for developing VLP bioprocessing technologies for cost-effective and efficient vaccine manufacturing are highlighted.

Buoyant density of the hepatitis A virus-like particle in cesium chloride.
We recently visualized by immune electron microscopy a virus-like particle in the stools of patients with hepatitis A. The particle measured approximately 27 nm in diameter and morphologically resembled a picornavirus or parvovirus. To further characterize this particle, we have determined its buoyant density in cesium chloride (CsCl) by ultracentrifugation. Hepatitis A particles from three pos...
متن کاملBacterium-Like Particles for Efficient Immune Stimulation of Existing Vaccines and New Subunit Vaccines in Mucosal Applications
The successful development of a mucosal vaccine depends critically on the use of a safe and effective immunostimulant and/or carrier system. This review describes the effectiveness and mode of action of an immunostimulating particle, derived from bacteria, used in mucosal subunit vaccines. The non-living particles, designated bacterium-like particles are based on the food-grade bacterium Lactoc...
متن کاملProspects for prophylactic hepatitis C vaccines based on virus-like particles.
Given the global prevalence and long-term complications of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, HCV constitutes one of the greatest challenges to human health of this decade. Considerable efforts have focused on the development of new effective treatments, but about three to four million individuals become infected each year, adding to the world reservoir of HCV infection. The development...
متن کاملDeveloping HPV virus-like particle vaccines to prevent cervical cancer: a progress report.
BACKGROUND the knowledge that sexually transmitted infection with one of a limited number of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is a central cause of almost all cervical cancers affords the opportunity to prevent this common cancer through anti-viral vaccination. OBJECTIVE the spectacular success of vaccines in preventing several other viral diseases offers hope that immunoprophylaxis against the ...
متن کاملBench-to-bedside review: Vaccine protection strategies during pandemic flu outbreaks
Vaccination is the most effective means for the prevention of influenza, including pandemic strains. An ideal pandemic influenza vaccine should provide effective protection with the fewest number of doses in the shortest amount of time, and among the greatest proportion of the population. The current manufacturing processes required for embryonated chicken-egg-based influenza vaccines are limit...
