Issue Date: | Oct-2016 | Date: | 2016-06-29 | Publication information: | Journal of Virological Methods 2016; 236: 87-92 | Abstract: | A method for the large-scale production of a quadrivalent mammalian cell derived hepatitis C virus-like particles (HCV VLPs) is described. The HCV core E1 and E2 coding sequences of genotype 1a, 1b, 2a or 3a were co-expressed in Huh7 cell factories using a recombinant adenoviral expression system. The structural proteins self-assembled into VLPs that were purified from Huh7 cell lysates by iodixanol ultracentrifugation and Stirred cell ultrafiltration. Electron microscopy, revealed VLPs of the different genotypes that are morphologically similar. Our results show that it is possible to produce large quantities of individual HCV genotype VLPs with relative ease thus making this approach an alternative for the manufacture of a quadrivalent mammalian cell derived HCV VLP vaccine. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/16227 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jviromet.2016.06.012 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-8212-0887 | Journal: | Journal of Virological Methods | PubMed URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27373602 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Hepatitis C Quadrivalent vaccine Virus-like particles |
