VLP ویکسین: مچھروں سے پیدا ہونے والے وائرس سے نمٹنے کے لیے ایک نیا طریقہ

Virus-like particles (VLPs), non-infectious proteins mimicking viruses, are crucial in vaccine development. Texas Tech University researchers created a multivalent VLP vaccine targeting Chikungunya (CHIKV), Japanese Encephalitis (JEV), Yellow Fever (YFV), and Zika (ZIKV) viruses in a study published in Scientific Reports.

The mosquito-borne viruses pose significant health threats, and existing vaccines have safety and availability issues. VLPs offer advantages such as antigenic epitopes, safety due to non-replication, and ease of production. Researchers designed structural protein expression vectors, optimized codons, and successfully expressed target proteins. Co-expression of Zika NS2B3 facilitated VLP production, and reporter virus particles (RVPs) were generated for neutralizing antibody detection.

Bicistronic vectors were used to produce VLPs containing capsid proteins, generating JEV, YFV, and CHIKV VLPs. Mouse models showed high neutralizing antibody levels, confirming the vaccine's immunogenicity. Suspension culture and serum-free medium adaptations enabled efficient, large-scale VLP production, meeting commercial quality and safety standards.

In summary, the multivalent VLP vaccine demonstrates potential against four mosquito-borne viruses, validating VLP platform safety and effectiveness. RVP detection methods were developed and validated, and VLP production was scaled up. This vaccine may provide an effective strategy for disease control and prevention, serving as a reference for other multivalent vaccine developments
