Infection of Naive Target Cells with Virus-Like Particles: Implications for the Function of Ebola Virus VP24
29 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Infectious virus-like particle (iVLP) systems have recently been established for several negative-strand RNA viruses, including the highly pathogenic Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV), and allow study of the viral life cycle under biosafety level 2 conditions. However, current systems depend on the expression of viral helper nucleocapsid proteins in target cells, thus making it impossible to determine whether...
