  • Method for generating a parvovirus B19 virus-like particle
    Patent number: 9744228
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for generating parvovirus VP1/VP2 virus like particles (VLPs). The invention further provides methods for purification of the parvovirus VLPs and immunogenic compositions that contain the VLPs. The invention also includes recombinant nucleic acid molecules that encode parvovirus VP1 and VP2, and host cells that contain the recombinant nucleic acids.

  • ROTAVIRUS PARTICLES WITH CHIMERIC SURFACE PROTEINS
    Publication number: 20160188790
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of rotavirus particles for displaying a heterologous protein, alone or in complex with another molecule. The invention further relates to methods that employ these modified rotavirus particles to rapidly determine the structure of the heterologous protein or the complex using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The invention also relates to a method of immunising a patient, wherein said method comprises administering to the patient the modified rotavirus particles of the invention.
