摘要:
Methods of preparing plant-derived virus like particles (VLPs) are provided. The method may comprise obtaining a plant, or plant matter comprising apoplast-localized VLPs, producing a protoplast/spheroplast fraction and apoplast fraction from the plant or plant matter, and recovering the apoplast fraction. The apoplast fraction comprises plant-derived VLPs. Alternatively, VLPs may be obtained from plant or plant matter comprising plant-derived VLPs by digesting the plant matter using a cell wall degrading enzyme composition to produced a digested fraction. The digested fraction is filtered to produced a filtered fraction, and the plant- derived VLPs are recovered from the filtered fraction.

A method for synthesizing chimeric influenza virus-like particles (VLPs) within a plant or a portion of a plant is provided. The method involves expression of chimeric influenza HA in a plant or a portion of a plant. The invention is also directed towards a VLP comprising chimeric influenza HA protein and plants lipids. The invention is also directed to a nucleic acid encoding chimeric influenza HA as well as vectors. The VLPs may be used to formulate influenza vaccines, or may be used to enrich existing vaccines.
摘要:
A method of producing a virus like particle (VLP) in a plant is provided. The method comprises introducing a first nucleic acid into the plant, or portion of the plant. The first nucleic acid comprising a first regulatory region active in the plant operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a native rabies virus structural protein. The nucleotide sequence may further comprise one or more than one amplification element. Optionally, a second nucleic acid might be introduced into the plant, or portion of the plant. The second nucleic acid comprising a second regulatory region active in the plant and operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a matrix protein, for example but not limited to a rabies matrix protein. The plant or portion of the plant is incubated under conditions that permit the expression of the nucleic acids, thereby producing the VLP.
摘要:
A nucleic acid encoding an affinity trapping agent is provided. The affinity trapping agent comprises a peptide or protein ligand having a binding affinity for a protein of interest, fused to a heterologous subcellular compartment targeting signal. Methods for targeting the immobilization of a recombinant peptide or protein of interest, or an endogenous peptide or protein of interest, to a subcellular compartment of a cell are also provided. If the peptide or protein of interest is recombinant then a nucleotide sequence encoding the recombinant peptide or protein of interest and a nucleic acid encoding the affinity trapping agent are introduced into the cell and co- expressed to form a complex thereby targeting the immobilization of the recombinant peptide or protein of interest. If the peptide or protein of interest is endogenous, then the nucleic acid encoding the affinity trapping agent having a binding affinity for the endogenous peptide or protein of interest is introduced into the cell, and the nucleic acid encoding the affinity trapping agent is expressed in the cell to form a complex thereby targeting immobilization of the endogenous peptide or protein of interest.
摘要:
A method of producing a virus like particle (VLP) in a plant, and compositions comprising VLPs, are provided. The method involves introducing a nucleic acid comprising a regulatory region active in the plant and operatively linked to a chimeric nucleotide sequence encoding, in series, an ectodomain from a virus trimeric surface protein or fragment thereof, fused to an influenza transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail, into the plant, or portion of the plant, the ectodomain is from a non- influenza virus trimeric surface protein and heterologous with respect to the influenza transmembrane domain, and the cytoplasmic tail. The plant or portion of the plant are incubated under conditions that permit the expression of the nucleic acid, thereby producing the VLP. A VLP produced by this method are also provided.
