Abstract |
Viral coat proteins expressed in plants often form virus-like particles (VLPs) which are good vaccine candidates as they are safe and highly immunogenic and can be easily purified. The VLPs can be purified by rate-zonal density centrifugation which is based on the size of the VLP or they can be purified by isopycnic centrifugation which is a fast and simple method and results in isolation of VLPs with the same density. Details on how to apply both rate-zonal and isopycnic centrifugation for VLP purification from plants are provided in this chapter. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2020.
All research outputs
#22,843,334
of 25,470,300 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#11,028
of 14,207 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#342,483
of 400,256 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#1,070
of 1,464 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,470,300 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,207 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 400,256 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,464 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
