Proteins that self-assemble into polyhedral shell-like structures are useful molecular
containers both in nature and in the laboratory. Here we review efforts to repurpose diverse …

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are a class of subunit vaccines that differentiate themselves from
soluble recombinant antigens by stronger protective immunogenicity associated with the …

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are multiprotein structures that mimic the organization and
conformation of authentic native viruses but lack the viral genome, potentially yielding safer …

During the past 6 years, focused virus hunting has led to the discovery of nine new human
polyomaviruses, including Merkel cell polyomavirus, which has been linked to Merkel cell …

The L1 coat protein of human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11) was expressed in Sf-9 insect
cells with the recombinant baculovirus vector Ac11L1. Viruslike particles (VLPs) were …

Background: The structure of simian virus 40 (SV40), previously determined at 3.8 å
resolution, shows how its pentameric VP1 assembly units are tied together by extended C …

Papillomavirus-like particles (VLPs) are a promising prophylactic vaccine candidate to
prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and associated epithelial neoplasia …

A complex of the polyomavirus internal protein VP2/VP3 with the pentameric major capsid
protein VP1 has been prepared by co‐expression in Escherichia coli. AC‐terminal segment …

This chapter emphasizes recent progress in the use of baculovirus expression vectors,
especially in regard to applications in agriculture and medicine, and outlines the …

The use of materials derived from natural sources in materials science has allowed the
harnessing of complex structures resulting from eons of evolutionary fine‐tuning. A better …
