Abstract |
Virus-like particles (VLPs) can be produced via the expression of virus surface proteins that self-assemble into particulate structures in recombinant protein expression systems. Expression of the DNA fragment encoding the Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus prM signal peptide, the precursor (prM) of the viral membrane protein (M), and the envelope glycoprotein (E) allows the production of a secretory form of VLPs. Expression systems that use lepidopteran insect cells, such as the baculovirus-insect cell system and stably transformed insect cells, can be used for the efficient production of JE VLPs. This chapter describes the production of JE VLPs from stably transformed lepidopteran insect cells. |
