Development of a Novel Virus-Like Particle Vaccine Platform That Mimics the Immature Form of Alphavirus
18 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Virus-like particles (VLPs) are noninfectious multiprotein structures that are engineered to self-assemble from viral structural proteins. Here, we developed a novel VLP-based vaccine platform utilizing VLPs from the chikungunya virus. We identified two regions within the envelope protein, a structural component of chikungunya, where foreign antigens can be inserted without compromising VLP structure....
