Production of norovirus-, rotavirus-, and enterovirus-like particles in insect cells is simplified by plasmid-based expression

Abstract excerpt

Insect cells have long been the main expression host of many virus-like particles (VLP). VLPs resemble the respective viruses but are non-infectious. They are important in vaccine development and serve as safe model systems in virus research. Commonly, baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is used for VLP production. Here, we present an alternative, plasmid-based system for VLP expression, which offers...
