METHODS OF ENHANCING PROTEIN INCORPORATION INTO VIRUS LIKE PARTICLES

摘要

The present invention comprises a method of increasing glycoprotein incorporation on the surface of VLPs, comprising expressing a nucleic acid encoding a chimeric glycoprotein in a host cell, wherein said chimeric glycoprotein comprises the transmembrane domain of an influenza hemagglutinin protein. The invention also embodies specific VLPs comprising said chimeric glycoproteins and methods of inducing immunity in an animal utilizing said VLPs.
