METHODS FOR PRODUCING VIRUS PARTICLES WITH SIMPLIFIED GLYCOSYLATION OF SURFACE PROTEINS

摘要

Methods for production of virus particles with simplified glycosylation on structural or surface proteins are provided. When used as targets for vaccine production, the conserved nature of such sites generates vaccines that are less sensitive to viral mutations. Use of glycosylation inhibitors for production of viruses with simplified glycosylation profiles are disclosed. An exemplary disclosure of influenza viruses and methods for production of mono-glycosylated influenza virus particles is provided. Methods for production of mono-glycosylated forms of influenza A virus, NIBRG-14 (H5N1) are provided.
