  • Parvovirus protein presenting capsids
    Patent number: 5916563
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a parvovirus protein presenting capsid. Protein presenting capsid can be made by substituting nonparvovirus proteins, such as antigenic epitopes, ligands, enzymes, or peptide sequences, for the unique region of the parvovirus minor structural protein (e.g. VP1). Small regions of VP2 can also be replaced. Normal VP2 can be added to enhance capsid formation.
