Expression and Self-Assembly of Norwalk Virus Capsid Protein from Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Replicons
15 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
The Norwalk virus (NV) capsid protein was expressed using Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus replicon particles (VRP-NV1). VRP-NV1 infection resulted in large numbers of recombinant NV-like particles that were primarily cell associated and were indistinguishable from NV particles produced from baculoviruses. Mutations located in the N-terminal and P1 domains of the NV capsid protein ablated capsid self-assembly...
