  • Chimeric virus-like particle antigen presentation and delivery system
    Patent number: 6060064
    Abstract: Chimeric virus-like particles produced by a non-natural particle-forming protein. The non-natural particle forming protein comprises a self-assembling particle-forming first amino acid sequence substantially homologous with a yeast retrotransposon Ty p1 protein and a second amino acid sequence. The second sequence is antigenic and is incorporated within an epitope of the first amino acid sequence, which epitope, on particles formed from the first amino-acid sequence alone, is surface exposed. Particles formed from such proteins are immunogenic and can be used in immunotherapeutic or prophylactic vaccines or as diagnostic agents.
