Abstract
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are self-assembled protein nanoparticles with repetitive antigen epitopes, which can stimulate immune response and do not contain viral genetic materials. VLPs has important research value and application potential in vaccine development, targeted drug delivery and bioengineering materials. In this review, the mechanism of VLPs vaccine induced immune responses is discussed. The existing VLPs expression systems are summarized. The research progress of VLPs vaccine in prevention and treatment of virus infection are summarized. This review provides general reference and guidance for the design and development of antiviral VLPs vaccine.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine (CJPM), the successor to Chinese Health Journal , was initiated on October 1, 1953. In 1960, it was amalgamated with the Chinese Medical Journal and the Journal of Medical History and Health Care , and thereafter, was renamed as People’s Care . On November 25, 1978, the publication was denominated as Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine . The contents of CJPM deal with a wide range of disciplines and technologies including epidemiology, environmental health, nutrition and food hygiene, occupational health, hygiene for children and adolescents, radiological health, toxicology, biostatistics, social medicine, pathogenic and epidemiological research in malignant tumor, surveillance and immunization.
