Production of recombinant VP1-derived virus-like particles from novel human polyomaviruses in yeast
3 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Eleven new human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) have been identified in the last decade. Serological studies show that these novel HPyVs sub-clinically infect humans at an early age. The routes of infection, entry pathways, and cell tropism of new HPyVs remain unknown. VP1 proteins of polyomaviruses can assembly into virus-like particles (VLPs). As cell culturing systems for HPyV are currently not available,...
